Liverpool They are reportedly planning to sign Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville this summer, according to the transfer journalist Ben Jacobs.
After joining the Peacocks in 2021, the 22-year-old initially took some time to settle into his new surroundings. However, following the Yorkshire club's relegation, he has enjoyed a stellar campaign in the Championship this season, scoring 19 goals and registering nine assists in 43 appearances.
After finishing third in the league, Leeds managed to secure their place in the playoff final and will face Southampton on Sunday. So, Summerville has a chance to take his team back to the top flight.
Now, writing in 90 minutes, Jacobs has reported that Liverpool plan to sign a new creative winger this summer and have identified Summerville as a key target.
The journalist further states that Newcastle UnitedEdit Star Anthony Gordon was on the Reds' radar, but they have cooled their interest in him and turned their attention to Summerville.
Summerville to Liverpool
Jacobs He also claims the Merseyside club could make an “approach” to sign the Leeds star this summer, especially if they fail to win promotion, as the striker is likely to cost less if the Peacocks remain in the Championship next season.
It has also been reported that Liverpool would be willing to spend big this summer and are also planning to sign a new centre-back along with a new striker.
Leeds reportedly want a fee of around £45 million sell Summerville, so Liverpool will have to spend a considerable amount of money to lure their key target to Anfield in the next window.
Summerville has left-wing traits, but can also play on the opposite side. He is quick, efficient at connecting play, has the ability to dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, can create opportunities for his attacking teammates, has the efficiency to finish his chances and also works hard out of possession.
So the youngster could be a shrewd signing for Liverpool if they buy him. However, the Merseyside club are already well stocked in their attacking department, so they do not need to spend much to sign another striker this summer unless they cash in on one of the current players.
