Manchester United have made contact over a move for West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, according to Standard Sport. The Netherlands international's representatives have been approached by Manchester United regarding the terms of a potential deal, though conversations remain exploratory with no club-to-club talks yet.
Summerville Attracts Interest After Impressive Season
The 24-year-old is in high demand following an impressive World Cup campaign with the Netherlands, where he recorded two goals and two assists. He also produced seven goals and five assists across all competitions as West Ham were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season. Summerville is under contract at the London Stadium until 2029.
After the Netherlands were eliminated from the World Cup on penalties by Morocco in the round of 32, attention has turned back to Summerville's club future. Manchester United are assessing multiple options as they look to bring in a new winger this summer.
West Ham Under Pressure to Sell
West Ham are under pressure to sell players this summer, even after sanctioning the departure of midfielder Mateus Fernandes to rivals Tottenham for a fee around £85 million. With Summerville expected to leave and captain Jarrod Bowen also attracting top-flight interest, the Hammers have begun sounding out potential wide replacements.
Standard Sport understands that West Ham hold an interest in Leicester winger Abdul Fatawu. Leicester, themselves under financial pressure following relegation to League One, are reportedly open to offers between £15-£20 million for the winger.
West Ham's Only Signing So Far
West Ham have made one signing so far this summer, exercising their £1 million option to make Venezuelan winger Keiber Lamadrid's loan deal from Deportivo La Guaira permanent. The club is expected to be active in the transfer market as they prepare for life in the Championship.
