Aston Villa battling Man Utd for £38m winger

Aston Villa are poised to battle it out with Manchester United to land West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville this summer.

The Netherlands international had a good 2024/25 season with the Hammers, scoring seven goals and providing five assists in all competitions.

He is expected to leave the east London side after their Premier League relegation. Roma are trying to sign him but face fierce competition.

Villa and United are also vying for the former Leeds United man, who could prefer to stay in the Premier League rather than move to Serie A.

West Ham have an asking price of around £43m for the talented attacker, but reports in Italy claim that they could accept £38m for a transfer.

Neither Villa nor United has made an offer for the left-sided winger. Roma seem best placed, but have not agreed terms with the attacker so far.

Summerville has just returned from Miami and could urge his entourage to speed up discussions over leaving the Hammers in the next few days.
