Chelsea’s Pursuit of Winger Crysencio Summerville: A Smart Move?

Chelsea are reportedly one of four Premier League clubs interested in signing Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville, according to French website Foot Mercato. This comes as no surprise, as the Blues have been on the lookout for a right-footed wide man who can cut in from the left flank.

The battle for Premier League supremacy heats up

After losing out on Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, Enzo Maresca’s side have been scouting other wingers to fill the void. Summerville, who impressed with his performances in the Championship for Leeds last season, scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists in 46 league appearances, seems to fit the bill.

Rennes and PSG are also said to be interested in the 22-year-old’s signature, with Leeds reportedly valuing him at around £30m to £35m. While this may seem steep, it’s a price Chelsea are willing to pay if they’re serious about bolstering their squad.

The summer transfer window is heating up

The Blues are not just stopping at Summerville, as they’re also scouting other wingers like Porto’s Francisco Conceicao, Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma, Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi, and Desire Doue. It remains to be seen whether Summerville or one of the other names listed becomes Chelsea’s number one priority, but from the sound of things, signing a new winger looks likely to happen before the transfer window closes next month.

The Chelsea squad is gearing up for the new season

In my opinion, securing Summerville’s services would be a smart move for Chelsea. His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability would be a welcome addition to the Blues’ attack. Let’s see if Chelsea can wrap up a deal before the transfer window slams shut.
