Everton want to sign Crysencio Summerville in £12m Leeds United deal
Everton are interested in a move for Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville with the Dutchman expected to leave Elland Road, according to The Telegraph.
It’s believed the 21-year-old could leave the Whites in a deal upwards of £12million during the summer window (The Telegraph, 20 June).
He is on a shortlist of forwards the Toffees are looking at as they attempt to stabilise after two relegation-threatened seasons on the bounce.
Feyenoord are also monitoring his situation at Elland Road. Summerville is the fourth Leeds player the Toffees are targeting with Jack Harrison and Willy Gnonto being monitored (Football Transfers, 18 June).
The Daily Mail also report on 19 June that Tyler Adams has emerged as a target.

It’s fair to say the Toffees are taking a serious interest in the ongoings in West Yorkshire.
Summerville enjoyed some exciting moments during the 2022/23 season including a last-gasp winner against Liverpool at Anfield. It would be a smart move.
At 21, there’s a chance he could develop further during his time at Goodison Park and go on to make the club a significant profit moving forward.
Furthermore, the fee of £ 12 million would be an absolute steal for Sean Dyche. Leeds’ relegation means there will have to be exits at Elland Road. With a number of players set to depart, there’s a chance for a cut-price deal to be struck.
If the Whites were still in the Premier League, they would be commanding a hell of a lot more of the likes of Summerville.
It’s believed Gnonto and Harrison could also be of interest and either player would be an excellent pick up.
Smarter recruitment is required at Everton and any of these Leeds players would be good business from the board.
