“West Ham close in on Summerville deal as Lopetegui holds talks, Romano signals ‘here we go’.”

July 31, 2024

West Ham United are on the brink of announcing the signing of Crysencio Summerville, with Fabrizio Romano confirming the deal is done. Romano’s “here we go” signal indicates the transfer is imminent, with a £25m fee plus add-ons agreed with Leeds United. Summerville has agreed to personal terms and spoken with Julen Lopetegui, and will join the squad on their USA tour.

The 22-year-old Dutchman will bring a much-needed attacking boost to the Hammers, having excelled in the Championship with 20 goals and nine assists last season. His signing is a significant coup, with West Ham fending off interest from Premier League rivals and French champions PSG.

Summerville’s arrival marks the fourth senior signing of the summer, and fans will be buoyed by the prospect of his creativity and goal-scoring ability. He joins a talented attacking lineup, including Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, and Mohammed Kudus.

With Tim Steidten leading the recruitment drive, West Ham are expected to continue their summer spending spree, aiming to establish themselves as a regular European fixture. However, they are set to miss out on a key striker target, according to reports.
