West Ham United star Crysencio Summerville is the target of a serious move by Liverpool, who are looking to sign the winger. The Reds are joined by Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in the battle for Summerville's signature.
What's behind the move?
Liverpool's interest in Summerville comes after an impressive campaign by the Netherlands international, who chipped in with two goals and two assists in four World Cup matches.
How much will he cost?
The Hammers were hoping to hold out for £50m, but relegation from the Premier League has weakened their negotiating position, and they may have to cash in as low as £30m.
What does this mean for West Ham United?
As West Ham United sits 18th in the Premier League with 39 points, 10W-9D-19L from 38 games, and a recent form of WLLLW, the potential loss of Summerville could be a significant blow, especially given their -19 goal difference, having scored 46 goals and conceded 65.
Is Summerville ready for a top club?
Jean-Clair Todibo has praised his teammate, saying: "The guy is incredible! His injury slowed him down, and people didn’t see a lot of him. He's just unbelievable. When he takes the ball, I think everyone is scared in the league." With Liverpool's interest, it seems Summerville may be ready to test himself at a higher level, and a transfer fee as low as £30m would be more than reasonable, considering the club's current league standing, 46 points behind leaders Arsenal.
