Leeds United fans believe that Crysencio Summerville’s departure from the club this summer is almost certain, following reports of interest from Crystal Palace.
The 22-year-old winger has been linked to top clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea, but Palace have emerged as a strong contender to sign him.
If Palace lose Eberechi Eze or Michael Olise this summer, they are keen to bring in Summerville as a replacement.
Despite competition from other clubs, Palace’s reputation for developing young talent from the Championship, as seen with Eze, Olise, Marc Guehi, and Adam Wharton, makes them an attractive option for Summerville’s growth.
Leeds United fans think that Selhurst Park would be the perfect destination for Summerville, as the gap to Liverpool and Chelsea is considered too big a leap.
They believe that Palace would provide the ideal environment for Summerville to continue developing his skills, rather than risking being overwhelmed at a bigger club, as seen with Kalvin Phillips.
According to Football Insider, keeping Summerville at Leeds is now viewed as “impossible” after the club missed out on promotion.
In response to Palace’s interest, many Leeds fans have expressed their happiness at the prospect of Summerville moving to South London, with one fan even stating that the deal looks “nailed on”.
