Tottenham’s chances of landing Crysencio Summerville are diminishing, as the winger shines early in the Netherlands’ World Cup run.
Reports persist that Spurs are keen to snatch Summerville from bitter rivals West Ham, having contributed to the Hammers’ relegation to the Championship. A few weeks ago, a Dutch source claimed Tottenham were readying a “concrete offer” for the 24-year-old, though no formal bid has materialized yet.
Summerville scored in the Netherlands’ World Cup opener against Japan, and that standout display could prompt another Premier League heavyweight to join the chase.
Man United ready to rival Tottenham for Summerville
The Athletic reports that Manchester United are now “closely monitoring” Summerville, who features prominently on their shortlist of wing targets. United are assessing several wide options and recognize that West Ham would likely demand around £50m for the Dutchman, whose contract runs through 2029.
That price hasn’t discouraged the Red Devils, who are seriously weighing a move and may be willing to meet the asking price. However, the report suggests any deal could depend on United offloading Marcus Rashford—a development that also impacts Spurs, given their continued interest in the England forward.
Serie A side also in the mix for Summerville
Tottenham face more than just Premier League competition, with an Italian club now entering the fray. Recent reports from Italy indicate that Roma have surged ahead of Spurs in the race for the West Ham star.
Meanwhile, Voetbal International journalist Joost Blaauwhof suggested on social media last week that a move to Tottenham is now effectively dead.
