From there he went out on loan to local side Dordrecht, then to compatriot club ADO Den Haag.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The summer of 2020 took Summerville to English club Leeds United, where he spent a season with the youth teams before earning his official promotion to the first team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">At Leeds, Summerville lined up alongside Brazilian star Raphinha Dias in the 2021-2022 season, before the winger completed his move to Catalan giants Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Here&#8217;s the intriguing part. Raphinha&#8217;s name is now linked with Riyadh giants Al Hilal too, which means the pair could reunite as team-mates should the reports of Al Hilal&#8217;s interest in the Barcelona man prove true.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Either way, Summerville turned out for the Leeds United first team until 30 June 2024, posting the following numbers:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">* Matches: 89.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">* Goal contributions: 38.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">* Goals: 25<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">* Assists: 13.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The Dutchman produced an exceptional 2023-2024 campaign, scoring 21 goals and setting up 10 more across all competitions. He was also named the best player in the English second tier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">West Ham United came calling in the summer of 2024, and Summerville went on to make 56 official appearances for them across various competitions, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Now all that remains is the official announcement of the deal, and then we can watch what Summerville delivers for Al Hilal out on the green rectangle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having opened with the details of the deal, let&#8217;s close with a quick run through Crysencio Summerville&#8217;s clubs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21325,16518,564,193,6,255,21339,9535,631],"class_list":["post-32875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-netherlands","tag-al-hilal","tag-c-summerville","tag-features","tag-feyenoord","tag-netherlands","tag-premier-league","tag-saudi-pro-league","tag-west-ham-united","tag-world-cup"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
