AdminFresh reports suggest Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Crysencio Summerville this summer, a development that is unlikely to be welcomed by the West Ham faithful.
The Dutch winger is widely expected to leave the London Stadium following the club’s relegation to the Championship, with several top-flight clubs believed to be monitoring his situation.
While supporters have come to terms with the prospect of losing some of their brightest talents, a move across London to Spurs would be viewed very differently.
Despite the disappointment of dropping out of the Premier League after 14 consecutive seasons, there is a growing sense of optimism around West Ham.
Significant changes behind the scenes have given supporters renewed hope that the club can rebuild and return stronger.
Those changes have also prompted a realistic acceptance that certain players may seek opportunities elsewhere.
Summerville and Mateus Fernandes are among those most frequently linked with exits, and few supporters would begrudge them a chance to continue playing at the highest level.
However, Tottenham is considered a step too far for many fans given the fierce rivalry between the two clubs.
The feeling was summed up by The West Ham Way Podcast host Dave Walker, who made his stance crystal clear.
“If he goes to Tottenham I will lose all respect for him,” said the Podcast host.
“He’s a talented player who won’t be short of options so to choose them and disrespect West Ham like that would be unforgivable.”
