West Ham favorites for extreme Leeds

The 22-year-old was named Sky Bet Championship Player of the Season following a campaign that saw him deliver 20 goals and nine assists.

Reports emerged on Monday afternoon that the Hammers have approached Leeds with an initial proposal but believe it is an expensive deal.

Naturally, the betting markets reacted with the price crashing from 25/1 to 2/1 and then 8/11 that West Ham would be his next club.

Leeds have already lost their star midfielder Archie Gray at Tottenham this summer, although there is still the expectation that Summerville departs as Daniel Farke rebuilds his side after last season’s play-off final defeat.

West Ham have already spent a lot Max Kilman this summer with Julen Lopetegui bringing in the defender from his previous club Wolves for £40m. Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme has also arrived for a fee of £25.5m.

They finished 9th in David Moyes’ final season at the club in the Europa League campaign, being knocked out in the quarter-finals after success in the Europa Conference League in 2022/23.

Brighton and Liverpool have also previously been credited with an interest in Summerville, while French giants PSG are believed to have him on their shortlist.
