West Ham 'submit proposal for Crysencio Summerville' but deal isn't close with Leeds star considered 'very expensive'

West Ham have made an offer for Leeds star Crysencio Summerville.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal isn't close, with the winger considered 'very expensive'.

The Hammers have also held talks with the 22-year-old regarding a potential move.

Roma are also monitoring Summerville but will only pursue a deal if they are not able to sign Matias Soule from Juventus. Leicester are also interested in Soule, who is valued at £34million.

Summerville has two years remaining on his current contract at Leeds. 

Summerville, who has been capped by the Netherlands at Under-21 level, signed for Leeds from Feyenoord in September 2020.

Since then Summerville has made 89 appearances and has scored 25 goals, while he has provided 12 assists. 20 of those goals came in the Championship last season.

Brighton enquired about Summerville last month. Summerville was named Championship player of the season last year as he frequently impressed despite Leeds missing out on promotion. 

West Ham, now managed by Julen Lopetegui, have made three major signings so far in this transfer window. 

Exciting youngster Luis Guilherme joined the club from Palmeiras, while goalkeeper Wes Foderingham arrived on a free transfer following his departure from Sheffield United.

West Ham also secured the signing of Max Kilman from Wolves, who is set to boost their defensive ranks.
