Albion are linked with Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville, who is valued at £30m.

The Elland Road side are expected to miss out on 22-year-old Summerville after failing to secure promotion to the Premier League after losing 1-0 to Southampton in the Championship play-off final.

Summerville joined Leeds from Feyenoord in 2020 after the club were promoted as Championship winners under Marcelo Bielsa.

He initially played for the under-21s, but eventually made 89 appearances for the senior side, scoring 25 goals.

Last season in the league, he scored 19 goals and provided 9 assists, boasting an impressive pass accuracy of 84.1%.

His stellar performance was instrumental in Leeds’ push for promotion, earning him the Championship Player of the Year award.

It is understood that several clubs could be interested in his services.

Summerville is known for its pace, goals and assists. Notably, he scored a crucial late winner against Liverpool at Anfield in October 2022, showing his Premier League readiness.

He is a versatile player who plays primarily as a left winger, but is also capable of performing well on the right wing and as a left midfielder.

He took penalties at Leeds last season, scoring 4 out of 5 attempts.

Summerville’s dribbling skills, creativity and goal-scoring ability made him a standout player in Daniel Farke’s side. In 49 matches, he scored 21 goals, highlighting his potential for further development.
