Newcastle United have already been linked with a move for Leeds United’s Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, but now they want another Elland Road star.

Summerville has attracted interest from plenty of Premier League clubs this summer. The latest reports say that he is ‘weighing up his future’ at Elland Road with Newcastle, Aston Villa and Palace all interested.

Eddie Howe is said to be a ‘big admirer’ of Summerville and would even offload Miguel Almiron in order to fund a deal for winger Summerville. Little surprise given he is The Championship’s Player of the Season.

But, Newcastle are well-stocked on the left flank, Summerville’s best position. They boast England star Anthony Gordon, and Leeds nemesis Harvey Barnes and Summerville stands little chance of breaking in.

Newcastle want another Leeds star after Summerville links

They would be better off trying to improve the right side of their attack, especially with Elliot Anderson gone and Almiron attracting interest from Saudi Arabia. Willy Gnonto then, might suit The Toon better.

TeamTalk say that Newcastle are now also interested in a deal to sign Italy star Gnonto. Everton are long-term admirers and could reunite Gnonto with Jack Harrison, but Newcastle are in the race for his signing.

The report also makes it clear that Leeds want a tall figure of £25m at least for Gnonto. It could perhaps explain why a £16.9m bid from Nottingham Forest for Gnonto was rejected earlier this summer.

If Leeds get anything above £20m for Gnonto, they must accept

Those in the Premier League will remember how effective Gnonto was in a Leeds shirt. Whether it was terrorising Ashley Young when he was at Villa, his goal against Man United, or an assist at Anfield.

Gnonto has enormous potential, but over the course of the last 12 months, he has struggled. Refusing to play for Leeds was followed by a spell on the bench before winning his place back, but stuttering.

Perhaps, surrounded by better players, Gnonto may shine. But given Leeds paid an initial £3.8m for Gnonto, anything over £20m would represent huge profit in the eyes of PSR and must be accepted.
