Leeds’ failure to achieve promotion from the Championship makes it fairly believable that the Dutch winger will go away Elland Street earlier than the tip of August, and having scored 21 targets for the Whites final season, we will perceive why the Yorkshire membership have seemingly positioned a £35m valuation on him.
Whereas he was very prolific within the second tier and dubbed ‘distinctive‘ by Michael Owen, Summerville hasn’t had practically the identical affect within the Premier League, netting simply 4 instances in 34 outings within the English prime flight.
As ever, it’ll come down as to if Michael Edwards perceives the participant to be well worth the switch charge that’s being demanded for him. If Liverpool’s CEO of Soccer thinks the Dutchman can be a real distinction maker at Anfield, there’s each probability that the Reds pays the cash to get him.
This one seems set to run on for a lot of the summer time switch window…
