“He will be granted what he want” Leeds United finally willing to turn their backs on ACE player who has been pushing effortlessly for a MOVE out of Elland Road.
Leeds United faces a reshuffle in their attacking lineup as the Championship’s Player of the Season, Crysencio Summerville, is expected to depart. With the new season approaching, manager Daniel Farke has several options to consider for his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.
Summerville’s exit creates an opportunity on the left flank. While Jaidon Anthony previously struggled to displace Summerville, neither player will feature in Farke’s plans for the upcoming season. The club is reportedly seeking a high-quality replacement.
In the interim, Farke has various tactical possibilities. Wilfried Gnonto, typically deployed on the right, could shift to the left where he’s shown effectiveness in the past. However, Gnonto’s future at the club remains uncertain.
Brenden Aaronson, who’s been tested on the left in recent friendlies, offers versatility across the attacking midfield positions. Georginio Rutter could potentially move to the left, allowing Aaronson to play centrally. Daniel James and Joe Gelhardt provide additional options for the wide positions.
Joel Piroe, while not his preferred position, has experience playing behind the striker. Farke has also experimented with a two-striker system, pairing Piroe with Mateo Joseph.
The manager has shown tactical flexibility, including using a 3-4-3 formation in a recent friendly. This system could potentially accommodate the team’s strengths if a direct replacement for Summerville is not acquired.
As the season approaches, Farke will need to make crucial decisions to optimize his attacking resources in Summerville’s absence.
