Leeds United may once again receive an offer for Crysencio Summerville this summer, with the Hamburger Morgenpost reporting that Hamburg are still interested in the winger.

Summerville was one player who was linked with the Elland Road exit during the January transfer window. He has been in and around the first-team fold this season. However, he has not exactly kicked on since getting a few chances in the early stages of the campaign.

Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that he wanted to leave in January. But ultimately, Summerville stayed put. And Leeds are now under new management with Bielsa being replaced by Jesse Marsch.

The Dutchman has kept his place on the bench for each of the Premier League games under Marsch. However, he is yet to feature for the American.

And it would appear that that may have provided some encouragement to one of his admirers in January. Hamburger Morgenpost reports that Hamburg remain interested in signing Summerville. It is noted that he would be their much more expensive target.

It is not clear what Leeds’ stance on his future would be. But you would imagine that the 20-year-old would want some kind of assurances ahead of next season.

Leeds face tough decision on Summerville as Hamburg eye fresh move

Summerville is in a tough position. He appears to be a class above many at under-23 level. And yet, he has not yet managed to make quite the same impact as Joe Gelhardt in the first-team.

Leeds may also adopt a different approach under Marsch. His system sees the wingers used more narrowly, with much of the width coming from the full-backs.

Summerville is able to play in more central areas. But right now, he looks to be at his blistering best when he has space in front of him.

His recent display against Manchester United’s under-23s was labelled ‘absolutely frightening‘. It would therefore, be a gamble for Leeds to let him go.
