Crysencio Summerville appears set to leave West Ham United this summer, with transfer journalist Nicolò Schira confirming the 24-year-old Dutch winger is ready to move on from the club.
Newcastle United, Roma and Marseille have all been linked with interest in Summerville, making him one of the more closely watched names ahead of the transfer window.
West Ham’s relegation to the Championship has intensified scrutiny over the futures of several key players at the club this summer.
The financial pressures that typically accompany a drop to the second tier have already been cited as a factor that could force the club to generate transfer income.
Summerville only arrived at West Ham in 2024 following a standout spell at Leeds United, putting pen to paper on a five-year contract with an additional year option included.
That contract structure means West Ham retain strong leverage in any potential sale and are not obligated to accept below-market offers for the winger.
Transfer reports have placed Summerville’s likely fee somewhere in the range of £25 million to £35 million, with Roma also connected to a possible offer of around €20 million.
Newcastle’s reported interest has drawn significant attention, as the club could benefit from a direct and pace-driven wide player capable of running at defenders and creating chances.
A move to Roma would place Summerville in a tactically demanding environment in Serie A, while Marseille would offer him consistent first-team prominence and a high-intensity atmosphere.
At 24, Summerville sits at a stage in his career where regular football and the right developmental environment carry considerable importance for his long-term progression.
West Ham hold a contractual position that gives them room to negotiate, but a player’s desire to leave can shift the dynamics of any transfer situation significantly.
The coming weeks of the transfer window will likely determine whether Summerville remains at the newly relegated club or secures a move to a higher level of competition.
