Crysencio Summerville is ready to depart Leeds, and another star may join him.
With Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham United almost complete, his Leeds United teammate Willy Gnonto’s future is becoming increasingly uncertain.
Summerville is said to have finished his physical ahead of his move to the London Stadium, and it is expected that he will be unveiled as a new West Ham player soon.
The Hammers have been busy in the transfer market over the last 48 hours, and they are anticipated to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Niclas Fullkrug and Real Betis star Guido Rodriguez, as well as try to work out a deal for Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Summerville’s 21 goals and 10 assists helped the Whites reach the Championship play-off final, so Leeds will have a major hole to fill.
Leeds will need to spend the money to find an acceptable replacement to assist ignite their promotion charge this season, and they will also try to mitigate the pain by keeping fellow promising forward Gnonto at the club.
According to sources in Italy, he is attracting interest from three Italian clubs. InterLive, via Sport Witness, reports that Parma, Genoa, and Venezia are interested in signing the Italian international, who wants to return to Italy.
Everton made several approaches for the 20-year-old last summer, but he remained at Elland Road following a lengthy transfer dispute. After a poor start to the season, Gnonto finished with nine goals, and he has a significant role to play under Daniel Farke this season, if he wants it.
