Summerville was one of the Championship’s standout players last season and is set to join a Premier League team this summer.
Leeds United is preparing for life without Dutch star Crysencio Summerville next season. The only questions about his future are when, where, and how much money will it take to get him away from Elland Road.
Summerville had a fantastic season last season, scoring 21 goals and assisting 10 times in all competitions, and several Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing the former Netherlands under-21 international winger.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton and Hove Albion have all been linked with a move for the 22-year-old this summer, but the bookmakers have identified two teams as obvious favourites to capture him.
Brighton are 2/1 favourites to sign Summerville, according to Sky Bet, as new manager Fabian Hürzeler tries to stamp his authority on the team after Roberto De Zerbi’s departure.
Liverpool are a slim 10/3 second favourite in the betting, with Dutch manager Arne Slot known to be a Summerville fan.
Chelsea are placed as 4/1 third favourites to sign Summerville, while Crystal Palace, who are poised to be in the market for a new winger if Michael Olise’s mooted move to Bayern Munich materialises, are 6/1 fourth favourites.
Tottenham is priced at 8/1, while Newcastle and West Ham are both priced at 10/1. Aston Villa are the betting’s 12/1 least favourites.
Leeds are hoping to reclaim a big money for Summerville this summer, with sources suggesting he is worth about £35-40 million.
The Whites have been anointed favourites to win promotion to the Premier League next season but face a busy summer with interest in a number of their key players, as well as the necessity to ship off a number of returning loan players.
