NEWLY-CROWNED Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are tipped to join Premier League giants chasing Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville.
The Dutchman has amassed amazing Championship stats of 18 goals and nine assists as Daniel Farke’s men press for an instant return to the Prem.
And Bild’s transfer expert Christian Falk believes the 22-year-old is already on the wish-list of Leverkusen’s Treble-seeking boss Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been linked with Summerville in recent weeks.
West Ham and Newcastle are also said to be monitoring the Under-21 international.
It’s claimed Leeds would want more than £40million for a star player who still has two years left on his contract.
HITC reckon that at least eight leading clubs are on his trail.
But despite playing the whole match, Summerville was unable to prevent Leeds from slumping to a surprise 1-0 home defeat against Blackburn on Saturday.
Victory would have put the Elland Road side back on top of the Championship.
Instead they remain third, one point behind Leicester and two adrift of Ipswich.
Summerville began his career at Feyenoord from 2018-2020.
But he spent a season apiece on loan at Dutch second-tier teams FC Dordrecht and Den Haag.
He joined Leeds in a three-year deal in September 2020 but had to wait 12 months for his Prem debut.
But promising progress since then meant he was rewarded with an extended deal in August 2022 until 2026.
Now Summerville is poised to be offered another shot at the Prem – be it with or without Leeds.
And he could also have options abroad, now that Leverkusen’s reported interest has emerged.
