Chelsea Football Club is reportedly keeping a close watch on Leeds United forward Crysencio Summerville, with the Dutch winger impressing with 21 goals in all competitions during the recent campaign. Despite his stellar performances, Leeds failed to secure promotion to the Premier League, sparking speculation about Summerville’s future.

Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Chelsea is among the clubs interested in the 22-year-old, alongside Liverpool. The allure of Premier League football and the financial power of top-tier clubs could tempt Summerville away from Elland Road.

Competition for Summerville’s signature is fierce, with Liverpool also showing interest as they prepare for a new era under Arne Slot. Chelsea may need to act swiftly if they intend to secure the winger’s services, with Romano suggesting that talks about his future are imminent.

At Stamford Bridge, there is already considerable talent in the wide positions, with players like Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, and Mykhailo Mudryk vying for starting roles. However, any potential move for Summerville could depend on the departure of one of these players during the summer transfer window.

With Enzo Maresca set to take charge for the upcoming 2024/25 season, the former Leicester City boss has firsthand experience of Summerville’s abilities from the previous campaign. Maresca may see the Dutchman as a valuable addition to his squad as he seeks to implement his style of play at Chelsea.

Summerville’s versatility, predominantly operating on the left side of the attack, could provide stiff competition for Sterling and Mudryk, potentially reshaping Chelsea’s lineup. Still young, Summerville offers room for development and could be an exciting prospect for the Blues’ squad alongside their other talented youngsters.
