Fabrizio Romano has lavished praise on the way West Ham went about signing highly-rated winger Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United.
The Hammers have moved swiftly to secure the 22-year-old’s services after a standout season in the Championship. Summerville underwent a successful medical earlier today, with the deal expected to be finalised shortly.
Fabrizio Romano has said on his Twitter account
“West Ham did an excellent job behind the scenes in June and then presented a formal bid almost 10 days ago, the deal is £25m plus add-ons and is a very smart move from the Hammers.”
The Dutch winger’s impressive goal-scoring record and creative abilities have made him a sought-after target, with Brighton also expressing interest. However, West Ham have emerged as the frontrunners and are poised to secure the deal.
Summerville’s arrival will significantly bolster West Ham’s attacking options and provide manager Julen Lopetegui with added flexibility in the final third. The club’s fans will be eagerly anticipating the official confirmation of the deal, as the Hammers look to build on last seasons campaign and challenge for European qualification.
It’s nice to hear that a) ITKs feel we’ve done a good job and b) we’ve done some business ‘behind the scenes’ and not in the public domain (as frustrating as that can be for fans).
I’m keen to see the likes of Zouma, Cornet and Soucek sold though. Any news on that?
And I really hope J-Lo can re-energise Aguerd into wanting to stay.
Romano Who?
Who cares whatever this person thinks, who are they iro west ham?
You may not know him or care about him, but in football circles, he is the biggest ITK in the game.
Yep you can believe him 99% of the time ..when he starts talking about players? You know there’s a chance….the way it should be 👍
Oh got you, he’s a gossip column writer..
KNOCK, KNOCK
Dave: “Who’s there?”

Dave: “Romano Who?”…….

So when then …medical done …???
He was a great asset to us last season and I’m sorry to see him go. Win the coveted Championship Player of the Year. Make good use of him and he’ll do you proud. Look out for his signature cut in from the left then right footed curler into the net!
Thanks Phil,
We don’t have him yet, wishing Leeds a good season you were unlucky last year !!!
