West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville has posted an enigmatic social media message as his €50m move to Roma edges closer. The Hammers, relegated from the Premier League with 39 points (18th place, 10W-9D-19L), are set to accept a third bid from the Serie A side after rejecting two earlier offers.
What did Summerville post?
Summerville broke his silence on Instagram with a cryptic message: 'Endlessly blessed, forever grateful.' He also shared an Instagram Story featuring a tattoo reading: 'At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen. God’s plan.' The post included images of him on a private jet returning to Europe from Miami, where he had been training after the Netherlands' early exit from the 2026 World Cup.
Why is West Ham United selling?
The Hammers, who finished 18th in the Premier League with 46 goals scored and 65 conceded (-19 goal difference), are under financial pressure following relegation. The €50m deal, including add-ons, would provide much-needed funds as they prepare for life in the Championship. Summerville is expected to undergo a medical in Rome later this week.
What about Aston Villa’s interest?
Reports suggest Aston Villa are monitoring the situation but have not made a formal bid. Summerville’s return to London from Miami signals the deal is progressing, with Roma now the frontrunners. The Dutch winger, who scored 10 goals for West Ham last season, could be a key addition for Roma as they aim to challenge for European spots next term.
What’s next for West Ham United?
With the transfer fee secured, West Ham will now focus on rebuilding for the Championship. The club, which finished 46 points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, must strengthen their squad to avoid a prolonged stay in the second tier. Summerville’s departure marks the beginning of a significant overhaul at the London Stadium.
