West Ham United have reached an agreement with Leeds United to sign Crysencio Summerville. The Hammers are set to pay a fee close to €25 million for the winger, with the move likely to be completed in the next few days.
The player has also accepted the move and is set to complete the formalities to make it official soon. Julen Lopetegui was personally involved in the transfer to convince the winger about the project as well.

The 22-year-old has been with the Yorkshire club since 2020, joining them from Feyenoord’s youth setup. Since then, he has gone on to make 89 appearances in the white shirt, scoring 25 goals and providing 12 assists across all competitions.
This past season, he was quite effective in the Championship, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists in 46 games, including the playoffs.
Now, it remains to be seen how the Dutch winger performs back in the Premier League, having shown his quality in the second division, albeit falling short of a return to the top flight by the smallest of margins.
