Crysencio Summerville has been on red-hot form for Leeds United in the Championship this season and it’s piqued the interests of many of Europe’s top clubs.
The Feyenoord youth product signed for Leeds in 2020 for €1.5m and went into their youth team playing occasionally for the first team. Last season (2022/23) he became much more important in the team and began to show his potential.
Summerville went on a four-game scoring streak where he scored against Fulham, Liverpool, Bournemouth and Tottenham consecutively. The last three were all in the 90+ minute and both the Liverpool and Bournemouth goals were match winners. Early signs of a big game player ready to step up and carry his team when it matters most.
Since then, in 2023/24 season he’s been the first name on the team sheet, scoring 17 goals and getting 8 assists in 40 games for Leeds in the Championship. Indeed, the level he’s performed at has been much higher and it’s clear he’s too good for the Championship.
A winger with a two-way dribbling ability, quality ball striking, close control and physicality who works hard defensively and is dangerous in transitions. So often this season he’s scored late goals to win Leeds games. Summerville’s mentality is excellent and it’s what makes him such a dangerous player and helps him deliver when his team needs him most.
