Arsenal & Man Utd battling to sign West Ham attacker

Arsenal and Manchester United could battle it out for the signature of West Ham United attacker Crysencio Summerville this summer, according to Foot Mercato.

The Dutchman had a decent season with the Hammers in the Premier League last term. He made nine goal contributions, but was unable to prevent their relegation.

He is now widely expected to head for the exit door, and reports claim that Arsenal and Man Utd could compete to sign the Netherlands international this summer.

West Ham are unlikely to sell him on the cheap, having set a £50 million price tag. His valuation could increase further after scoring in back-to-back World Cup games.

The Hammers will hope for more interest from elite European clubs in the former Leeds United man, who has no desire to play in the Championship next season.

Summerville picked up an injury at the end of the Netherlands' 5-1 win over Sweden earlier today. Hopefully, he has not sustained a serious injury.
