Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are admirers of Crysencio Summerville, with the Leeds United winger a contender to leave Elland Road this summer.

That is according to a report from The Athletic, which suggests that it would not be a surprise if the Whites listen to bids for the Dutchman following their relegation from the Premier League.

There is a huge question mark over most of the Leeds squad. And The Athletic reports that Crysensio Summerville is one of those who could move on.

Leeds could sell Summerville

It proved to be a breakout campaign for the 21-year-old. Only Rodrigo, Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra scored more goals in the Premier League this season.

Many fans may be hoping that Leeds manage to keep Summerville ahead of their return to the Championship. But it seems that the Whites hierarchy may be open to the possibility of the youngster leaving.

The Athletic reports that Summerville is wanted by a number of clubs across Europe. Meanwhile, Palace and Bournemouth could look to offer him an immediate return to the Premier League.

It is something of a surprise to hear that Leeds could be open to letting Summerville leave. Perhaps the player himself is keen to move on after relegation.

However, there looks to be a perfect opportunity for Summerville to cement himself in the Leeds side. It is a step backwards in the short-term. But there were still some performances this past season that suggest that he is not quite ready to play week-in, week-out at the highest level.

But he is definitely not far away. He was often Leeds’ most exciting player, ‘exceptional‘ at times. So if we can keep him beyond this summer, it would be a huge boost.
