West Ham at risk of losing millions on Crysencio Summerville as Dutch media slam display - verdict
West Ham United could lose millions in a potential transfer fee as Crysencio Summerville’s poor form continued in the Netherlands’ 2-1 victory over Uzbekistan.
The winger is expected to leave the London Stadium this summer after their relegation, and there is hope that a good 2026 World Cup could boost his price tag.
However, after a poor display in the 1-0 defeat to Algeria last week, this continued on Monday.
As a result, the Dutch media were quick to pounce on the performance as they slammed his clinical nature ahead of the summer tournament.
Now, West Ham could be at risk of losing millions if Summerville cannot turn around his performances.
The Hammers need to make sales before they can make signings in the transfer window, and a lower transfer fee could cost the club much-needed additions.
Crysencio Summerville disappoints vs Uzbekistan
Summerville may have done a lot right against Uzbekistan, but he did not deliver in the important areas of the pitch.
The winger missed several good chances as the Lowland Country had to scrap a victory thanks to a 98th-minute Cody Gakpo penalty.
As a result, Soccer News was not kind to Summerville in their review of his performance.
It read: “Wasted the Netherlands' first big chance. Made an eager impression again, but was also often sloppy.
“Was awarded a penalty due to his immense speed. He also failed to convert a good chance after the break.”
This will be of great concern to West Ham, who will be hoping Summerville has a good World Cup to boost his price tag, not do the opposite.
However, it remains to be seen if the winger can turn his fortunes around once the tournament begins.
How much could West Ham get for Summerville?
Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider that West Ham could receive £30million-£40m for Summerville this summer transfer window.
The Hammers previously signed the winger for £25m back in 2024 from Leeds United.
It is reported that the Hammers need to raise £100m in player sales after their relegation, and the sale of Summerville could prove to be a massive help in reducing this amount.
However, it remains to be seen if Summerville’s performances in the 2026 World Cup will increase or decrease his value as West Ham aim to build a squad capable of achieving an instant promotion back to the Premier League next season.
