Bayern Munich are reportedly making progress with a transfer for Michael Olise that leaves Chelsea looking at alternative attacking targets like Leeds United's Crysencio Summerville
A bidding war suits Leeds United when it comes to Crysencio Summerville this summer. Paraag Marathe has already made it clear the Whites will need to cut their cloth accordingly this summer and that will mean, in his words, trade-offs.
Summerville, undeniably, ticks more boxes than any of his team-mates for a big-ticket sale this summer out of Elland Road. The Dutch winger was bought for a pittance, can generate a significant profit, represents attractive potential for suitors, has shown recent sustained form and a very impressive injury record.Summerville’s also going to be a willing negotiator with buyers because he has nothing left to prove in the Championship and has ambitions to get to the top of the game.
Bayern Munich appear to be succeeding in that race. Chelsea’s interest in Summerville was already established while Olise remained on their radar. If the France under-21 international is now no longer of interest, it could well embolden their Summerville pursuit. LeedsLive understands United are under no such time pressures and the Summerville exit will be allowed to develop naturally as bids start to come in. There is now at least one less distraction standing between Chelsea and their Summerville temptation.
