Leeds United under-23 boss Andrew Taylor has told LUTV that Crysencio Summerville is a pleasure to work with, while he labelled his ability going forward sensational following his hat-trick on Monday night.

Summerville is doing more than knocking on Jesse Marsch’s door. The Dutchman was kicking it down after his latest performance.

The winger has been on the bench for each of the games since Marsch arrived. But he is yet to get onto the pitch under the American.

Now however, Summerville is becoming almost impossible for Marsch to ignore. The winger scored a stunning hat-trick as they beat Crystal Palace 4-0 this week. And each of the goals were special in their own way.

It was an emphatic reminder of just how good Summerville can be. And following the win, Taylor suggested that he has absolutely everything needed to make the grade with the first-team at Elland Road.

“For me, Cry is a pleasure to work with. He works hard defensively,” he told LUTV. “And then, his ability going forward is sensational. He just needs to keeping doing that, keep performing.

“He’ll get his opportunities in our first-team I’m sure. As you’ve seen tonight, he’s such a danger, such a threat, an outlet for us. But he doesn’t stop there. He gets back, he gets into position. He took on board a lot.”

Summerville leaves Leeds with a simple decision this summer

It remains to be seen if Marsch will hand Summerville a chance this season. It could obviously be a risk while Premier League survival is still not assured.

However, Summerville looks to be playing with real confidence right now. He showed real glimpses when he got a chance under Marcelo Bielsa. But he may have now found another level.

Of course, much of the talk surrounding Summerville in recent months has been surrounding whether he may leave Leeds. He has already been linked with a potential exit this summer.

But there is surely no way that Leeds can let Summerville go as things stand.
