Chelsea FC are reportedly in firm negotiations to sign Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville, who was recently named the Championship Player of the Season, according to Teamtalk.

Summerville’s outstanding performance in the 2023/24 season, with 31 goal involvements (21 goals and 10 assists), has attracted significant interest from the Premier League giants.

The 20-year-old Dutch winger played a crucial role in Leeds United’s campaign, and his potential move to Stamford Bridge is seen as a major target for Chelsea as they look to bolster their squad this summer.

Despite not openly pushing for a transfer, it is understood that Leeds United are prepared for Summerville’s departure and are ready to set a price tag between £30 million and £35 million once serious offers are made.

Brighton & Hove Albion had previously shown interest in Summerville, even holding discussions about a possible transfer to the AMEX Stadium.

However, the Seagulls’ interest has waned, leaving Chelsea as the frontrunners in the race to secure the winger’s signature.

As negotiations continue, Chelsea fans eagerly await further developments on this potential signing, which could significantly strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season.
