Summerville ‘buzzing’ as Leeds news emerges pre-Liverpool
Crysencio Summerville is “buzzing” at Leeds United – and today’s clash against Liverpool is the right time for Marcelo Bielsa to bring him into his first-team plans.
That is the view of ex-Premier League hitman Kevin Campbell, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the 19-year-old Dutch winger.
This site revealed on 2 September that Leeds had rejected interest from a number of EFL and foreign clubs for Summerville in the summer window.
Swansea City, Belgian outfit Club Brugge and Dutch Eredivisie duo Groningen and Heerenveen all enquired about the youngster.
But Leeds immediately dismissed all offers as Bielsa has big plans for Summerville, who is under contract at Elland Road until 2023.
Summerville is yet to make his senior debut for Leeds but has been named on the bench for their opening three matches this season.
And Campbell claims that Bielsa has faith in the attacker and sees him with a role to play in the first-team setup.
“I think he rates him and sees him in his plans,” he told Football Insider correspondent Adam Williams.
“If clubs are coming in for the player on loan and the club turn around and say he’s not going anywhere, that means he’s going to get his chance.
“He’s absolutely buzzing and playing well, and that’s when you’ve got to give him the chance.
“Don’t give him the chance when he’s struggling, giving the chance when he’s buzzing.“
Leeds signed Summerville from Feyenoord in September 2020.
He notched eight goals and supplied seven assists in 17 matches for the under-23ss.
