Liverpool want £45M speedster but face huge competition to sign him

Liverpool's radar has locked onto Crysencio Summerville, the Leeds United winger whose performances in the Championship have not gone unnoticed.

This season, the 22-year-old has 18 goals and 9 assists, via Transfermarkt, underlining his potential.

FootballTransfers reports suggest that Liverpool, among others, are considering an approach for the Dutch forward, known for his dazzling displays on the field.

Anfield Watch had previously indicated Liverpool's interest in Summerville as a potential summer acquisition.

His future at Leeds, however, could hinge on the club's promotion prospects. Leeds is prepared to secure Summerville with a lucrative deal, though his commitment remains uncertain.

The decision to pursue Summerville may depend on the futures of Luis Diaz or Mohamed Salah at Liverpool and the appointment of Klopp's successor.

Yet, Liverpool is not alone in their admiration. Newcastle United and AC Milan have also expressed interest, with Milan viewing Summerville as a potential replacement for Rafael Leao, who is on Paris Saint-Germain's radar.

Leeds United have set a steep price tag of at least £45 million for Summerville, a figure that could fluctuate depending on the club's promotion fate and the level of interest from other clubs.

Summerville's potential arrival at Liverpool, despite his impressive track record, would be seen as a move for the future. His stint in the Premier League last season showed promise, but he may not yet be ready to claim a starting spot in Liverpool's formidable forward line.

As Liverpool navigate this period of change, the pursuit of talents like Summerville underscore their commitment to staying competitive and refreshing their squad for the challenges ahead.
