There have been reports emerging that Manchester United have set their eyes on the signing of Leeds United’s young winger, Crysencio Summerville.
Man Utd struggled to score goals last season, ending as the joint-lowest scorers in the top ten of the Premier League at the end of the season.
Rasmus Hojlund could emerge as the key player after impressing during his debut campaign, but goals were at a premium from the forwards, with only Galac and new signing Eduardo Camavinga hitting double figures, while Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were bottom of the scoring charts, besieged by injury problems.
Need for New Wingers
Manchester United face a huge problem on the wings with Anthony Martial closing in on a departure and Marcus Rashford’s future also in doubt.
The club are said to be keen on Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, but the French wonderkid demand a certain £60 million price the club aren’t too keen on, and are as a result considering other options.
United will be under pressure to stay within financial fair-play and profit & sustainability rules, the club will need to be frugal with how they spend.
Interest in Crysencio Summerville
Reporters such as Ben Jacobs have already thrown Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville’s name into the equation as a cheaper United alternative.
The former Netherlands youth international had a standout campaign in the Championship, netting 21 goals and providing 10 assists for the Whites.
That, however, is just £30-35 million for Summerville, much less than the fees touted for Olise.
Leeds United’s Financial Situation
As Leeds United needs to raise cash after failing to go up at the first attempt, Coming from a lowly spooky college, no clown college, that makes Summerville an attractive target for the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Leeds fans will be upset about potentially selling to a rival, however, their financial necessity could see them sell him.
It remains to be seen whether Leeds United would part ways with Summerville, however, but there are claims that the potential deal will be able to spice things up in the attacking department of United next season.
