Liverpool remain reportedly keen on bolstering their forward options this summer.
This follows a season’s worth of criticism for the Reds’ current crop of attacking talent and their apparent profligacy in front of goal.
One solution the Merseysiders’ decision-makers have in mind is Leeds’ Crysencio Summerville. The Dutchman could become a particularly ideal transfer option should the Whites fail to secure promotion to the Premier League.
“Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville could be the subject of a summer approach, particularly if the club fail to beat Southampton in Sunday’s Championship play-off final,” Ben Jacobs reported for 90min.
The left-sided winger has amassed 31 goal contributions (21 goals, 10 assists) in 48 games as Daniel Farke’s men secured a playoff place in 2023/24’s edition of the Championship.

Should Liverpool be interested in Summerville?
It’s a considerable leap up to the Premier League, but it’s worth noting that Summerville isn’t a stranger to the challenges of English top-flight football.
Presuming that the 22-year-old could take his Championship form with him to the Premier League, Liverpool could have quite the signing on their hands.

Statistically speaking, the forward is one of the most intriguing young forwards on the market. He boasts a non-penalty xG and xAG that ranks in the 88th and 92nd percentiles respectively.
Summerville takes an attractive number of touches in the opposing box (96th percentile) and, rather intriguingly, bears a similar statistical profile to another reported Liverpool target in Johan Bakayoko.
If we’re looking for a potentially affordable forward signing with plenty of potential to realise (and who could also feasibly hit the ground running), the Leeds star would be a far from awful choice.
As things stand in the playoff final
Leeds United currently take on Southampton for the glory of promotion to England’s top-flight.
The Saints, as things currently stand, lead their opponents 1-0 at Wembley.
Presuming that Russell Martin’s men can hold on for a victory, Richard Hughes’ life may be about to be made a lot easier as far as negotiating a suitable transfer fee for Summerville is concerned!
