AdminWest Ham may soon face a serious battle to keep hold of one of their most exciting young talents after Crysencio Summerville announced himself on the world stage with an impressive World Cup debut for the Netherlands.
The timing could hardly have been more significant. On the same day Daniel Kretinsky insisted to The Times that West Ham are under no financial pressure to sell their leading players, Summerville delivered a performance that is certain to have attracted attention from across Europe.
Operating on the right flank for his country, rather than in the role familiar to West Ham supporters, the winger gave the Dutch the lead against Japan with a fine finish.
However, the Netherlands were unable to see out the victory, conceding a late equaliser in the 89th minute to settle for a draw.
It was a display that underlined why several major clubs continue to monitor his situation. Sportsmole.co.uk was among those to highlight the impact of his performance, writing:
“Crysencio Summerville makes major transfer statement amid PSG interest
It was an excellent goal that highlighted exactly why the likes of Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in his services.”
Summerville later reflected on a memorable evening, saying:
“It’s a very proud moment for myself and my family. I’m very, very happy with a goal on my debut, but a bit unlucky with the result.”
With interest from Tottenham and PSG continuing, further strong performances could intensify speculation surrounding his future.
