GOODBYE SUMMERVILLE: Heartbreaking moment as Leeds BID official farewell to summerville as Player SIGN permanent deal of undisclosed pricetag to join EPL side…. Shocking moment for MOT.
Leeds United has officially announced the departure of their star player Crysencio Summerville after resolving some initial complications. The transfer was finalized following a second medical examination and agreements on contract terms and transfer fees, addressing concerns that had led to speculation about potential last-minute changes.
Summerville’s exit leaves a significant gap in the team, as he was named EFL Championship Player of the Season for 2023/24. Leeds United now faces the challenge of finding a replacement, especially with rumors circulating about Wilfried Gnonto’s potential departure as well.
The Dutch winger spent four years at Leeds United, joining in 2020 after developing in Feyenoord’s youth academy. Summerville signed his first professional contract with Feyenoord at 17, following a decade in their system. He gained experience through loans to FC Dordrecht and ADO Den Haag before moving to Leeds.
At Leeds, Summerville made a significant impact. He extended his initial three-year contract to 2026 and achieved several notable feats, including scoring the winning goal against Liverpool at Anfield in October 2022, ending the club’s long winless streak there. He was also instrumental in Leeds’ 16-game unbeaten run in 2024.
Summerville’s impressive 2023/24 season, during which he scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists, earned him the EFL Championship Player of the Season award. Over his Leeds career, he contributed 25 goals and 12 assists in 5,779 minutes of play.
Fans will likely remember Summerville for key moments such as his late winner in a 4-3 thriller against Bournemouth in November 2022 and his strong performance against Leicester City in March 2023 during Leeds’ fight for Premier League survival.
