Newcastle are eyeing a move for the striker who scored 20 goals last season
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe will be busy this summer as he has a number of issues to sort out regarding his club.
The Magpies suffered an injury crisis last season and lost two of their full-backs and their goalkeeper to long-term injuries.
Those injuries hampered their season and the club decided they needed depth in the squad and more quality to challenge again for a place in the Champions League.
To do that, they are aiming to attack a wide attacker and according to information provided by reporter Ben Jacobs to GiveMeSport, the Magpies could make a move for Leeds United attacker Crysencio Summerville.
With Leeds failing to win promotion to the Premier League, a number of their players are expected to leave the club this summer.
Archie Gray has already joined Tottenham and more departures can be expected in the coming weeks.
Summerville was their best player last season as he scored 20 goals in the Championship and added nine assists to his tally.
His results have been outstanding in the second tier of English football and his good style has alerted the biggest clubs in the country.
Jacobs told GiveMeSport:
“We also know that Newcastle was one of the clubs that wanted Michael Olise, which shows that they want this wide, creative and logical player. And while the cost of Olise was too high for Newcastle to continue, there will be other options on the market that I’m sure Newcastle feel are within their budget.
“Crysencio Summerville could be another man to watch, although he has yet to find his way to Leeds United.”
Signing Summerville is a no-brainer for Newcastle
Newcastle wanted Michael Olise at the club this summer but his move to Bayern Munich changed their transfer plans.
A move to Summerville would make sense as he is a player of a similar profile who not only creates chances in wide areas but also has the ability to score goals.
Along with forwards like Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak, Summerville can create a devastating attack for St. James’ Park next season.
