Crysencio Summerville's dribbling stats in Netherlands display bodes well for West Ham transfer fee – verdict
Crysencio Summerville has continued his impressive run of form away from West Ham United after scoring for the Netherlands against Japan on Sunday.
The winger thought he had scored the winner in the 64th minute at Dallas Stadium on 14 June, but Hajime Moriyasu’s team found an equaliser just before the end of the game to secure a 2-2 draw in their World Cup group stage opener.
Despite the Hammers’ relegation from the Premier League, the 24-year-old’s performances caught the eye of Ronald Koeman, and the forward seems to be a key part of his plans.
Summerville’s goal against Japan will surely add more value to his name as speculation around his future at London Stadium intensifies.
It would be surprising to see the attacker opt to play Championship football with the Irons rather than sign for a Premier League club in the transfer window.
The East London club haven’t had much to smile about, but the prospect of adding a few more millions to the winger’s price tag will certainly be slightly comforting in E20.
Crysencio Summerville continues heroics away from West Ham
Summerville was one of the best players on the pitch, putting Japan’s defence under constant pressure throughout his 70 minutes on the pitch.
As per Sofascore, aside from the forward’s goal, he completed one successful dribble, recorded 19 carries and completed 86 per cent of his passes.
The winger was heavily involved in the game, with 39 touches and was fouled three times, highlighting the opposition’s inability to take the ball off him on occasions.
Summerville also contributed defensively, winning four of his six ground duels and one aerial duel.
Crysencio Summerville sale to generate profit at London Stadium
Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider on 6 June that West Ham could expect to make a big profit on Summerville after signing him for £25million in 2024.
A figure of £40m has been suggested for the attacker’s exit from the Hammers and his displays at the World Cup will undoubtedly only add to that value.
The London Stadium hierarchy need to generate significant funds after the Irons’ relegation and the Netherlands star’s sale could potentially be sanctioned to ease some of the concerns.
