We’re nonetheless 4 days away from the summer time switch window commencing, however one identify already appears to be like set to be distinguished all through the following few weeks by way of a potential transfer to Liverpool.
There have been conflicting stories in current days in regards to the Reds’ curiosity in Crysencio Summerville, with Leeds Dwell claiming that the Merseysiders had ended their pursuit of the 22-year-old however Fabrizio Romano insisting that LFC proceed to understand the winger.

Summerville’s identify has maybe been extra distinguished than any within the early weeks of the summer time relating to potential Liverpool signings, however will he go the way in which of Alexis Mac Allister and be part of the Reds after long-held curiosity, or will it’s one other Khephren Thuram/Manu Kone?
The latter pair dominated the Anfield hearsay mill this time final 12 months, just for neither of them to be among the many 4 midfielders who’d go on to signal for Jurgen Klopp within the German’s penultimate switch window on Merseyside.

Leeds’ failure to achieve promotion from the Championship makes it fairly believable that the Dutch winger will depart Elland Street earlier than the tip of August, and having scored 21 objectives for the Whites final season, we are able to perceive why the Yorkshire membership have seemingly positioned a £35m valuation on him.
Whereas he was very prolific within the second tier and dubbed ‘distinctive‘ by Michael Owen, Summerville hasn’t had almost the identical impression within the Premier League, netting simply 4 occasions in 34 outings within the English high flight.
As ever, it’ll come down as to whether Michael Edwards perceives the participant to be definitely worth the switch price that’s being demanded for him. If Liverpool’s CEO of Soccer thinks the Dutchman could be a real distinction maker at Anfield, there’s each likelihood that the Reds pays the cash to get him.
This one appears to be like set to run on for a lot of the summer time switch window…
