Rangers are considering a loan swoop for Leeds United speedster Crysencio Summerville, according to the Daily Mail [via the Scottish Sun].
Rangers have been linked with Summerville before.
Old transfer target back on Rangers’ radar
Back in July 2020, the Gers were said to be keen to sign the Netherlands youth international from Gio van Bronckhorst’s old club Feyenoord [Voetbal International].
However, just a few months later, he would move to England instead, joining Leeds on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Since then, the rapid winger has featured more often for the Whites U23s than the senior side, making 24 appearances for the youth team compared to just seven under Marcelo Bielsa.
All of his first-team outings have come this season, with five of them in the Premier League, but he’s yet to start a league match and Rangers are circling once again.
According to the Daily Mail via the Scottish Sun, a loan swoop is being weighed up, with the Gers specifically asking Leeds to keep them informed of any developments regarding the 20-year-old’s situation this month.
Should Rangers swoop for Leeds winger Summerville?
Rangers could certainly do with another natural wide player, particularly someone comfortable playing on the right.
Andreas Skov Olsen and Francis Amuzu have already been linked but Summerville also fits the bill.
He’s the least experienced of the three and his stats this season are unremarkable, with three goals and one assist from a combined total of 17 first-team and U23 appearances.
He’s clearly a player Rangers have had their eye on for some time, though, and perhaps as Leeds’ injury problems begin to ease, now is the time to swoop.
Summerville is contracted at Elland Road until 2023 and a loan with an option to buy in the summer may suit all parties.
Meanwhile, ‘we have no intention’ – major Rangers partners send clear message.
