Crysencio Summerville has made himself known in Championship this season

Liverpool Football Club is reportedly planning a summer move for Leeds United winger, Crysencio Summerville. The 22-year-old Dutch player has been making waves in the Championship this season and could be available for around £30 million, according to Anfield Watch.

Summerville has had an outstanding season with Leeds United. His right-footed prowess has seen him score twelve goals and provide six assists in just 23 appearances. With a shot conversion rate of 28 percent, he is on par with football giants like Erling Haaland (29%) and Mohamed Salah (27%). This impressive statistic underlines his lethal finishing ability.

Not only does Summerville excel on the left wing, but he also offers versatility by being effective anywhere along the forward line. This adaptability is one of the key factors that have piqued Liverpool's interest.

The Dutch winger hasn't gone unnoticed by other top-tier clubs either. Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Brighton are among those who have shown interest in acquiring his services. However, the opportunity to develop under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool might sway Summerville’s decision.

While a transfer during this window seems unlikely for Liverpool, they appear to be laying groundwork for a summer move instead. It should be noted that this potential acquisition isn't related to any transfer rumours surrounding Mohamed Salah who is expected to extend his stay at Anfield despite high demand from Saudi Pro League clubs.

The price tag set for Crysencio Summerville is around £30m

Leeds' performance this season could significantly impact their star winger’s future as well as his price tag. If they fail to secure promotion to the Premier League, it would likely necessitate parting ways with Summerville.

However, if he continues his current form and plays a key role in Leeds' promotion, Liverpool might have to shell out more than the initially anticipated £30 million. Regardless of the price, Summerville would undoubtedly be a valuable long-term addition to Klopp's impressive Liverpool squad if he makes the move to Anfield.

While there are several variables at play, one thing is clear: Crysencio Summerville has caught the eye of some of football's biggest clubs. His future will certainly be one to watch as we approach the summer transfer window.
