Crysensio Summerville Swaps Leeds Utd For West Ham In Five-Year Deal

The Dutch forward has moved to the London Stadium for an undisclosed fee, signing a five-year contract with the option for a further year.

Summerville, who won last season's Championship player of the season, spent four years at Leeds United, having joined from Feyenoord in 2020.

During his time at Elland Road, Summerville made 89 appearances and scored 25 goals, including 21 in the Championship last season.

"I'm very happy, and I can't wait to get started," said Summerville.

"It's the perfect next step for my career. West Ham United is a huge club, with lots of ambition and great players, so I'm really excited to be here and to get going.

"I always try to follow my heart, and I had the feeling that this is the best place for me to continue developing as a player, and to push my potential as much as possible.

"There is so much history here, and the team have done so well in the Premier League and in Europe over recent years. I spoke to the head coach, and he convinced me that I could make an impact, and help achieve success in the new season.

"I think I'm here to help write more history here, and I'd love to help West Ham get back into Europe. I want to contribute lots of goals and assists, and I'm so excited to meet my team-mates and the fans, and get out there now."

West Ham have already signed Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme for £25.5m from Palmeiras.
