AliousLeeds United recently agreed to sell Crysencio Summerville to West Ham for an initial £25 million, with additional performance-based add-ons.
This transfer, along with Archie Gray’s move, leaves Leeds with significant gaps to fill before the August 30 transfer window deadline.
West Ham triggered a release clause in Summerville’s contract, securing him on a long-term deal.
The transfer could potentially reach £30 million with an extra £5 million in performance bonuses.
Furthermore, Leeds stands to benefit financially if Summerville receives a call-up to the Netherlands senior team.
While some fans prefer higher upfront fees over add-ons due to their uncertainty, Leeds has reason to be optimistic about these clauses being met.
Summerville’s chances of joining the Dutch national team have improved following his return to the Premier League, especially considering the team’s struggles in Euro 2024.
The first opportunity for Leeds to benefit from an add-on could come as soon as September with a potential international debut for Summerville.
His transfer is part of an impressive summer window for West Ham under Julen Lopetegui, aiming to return to European competition.If Summerville performs well at West Ham, Leeds could potentially receive significantly more than the initial £25 million, which would positively impact their Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) calculations for the year.
