Leeds United transfer reports include Brighton target Crysencio Summerville, as well as a youngster looking for a loan move

Crysencio Summerville has piqued the curiosity of Premier League clubs, prompting a round-up of Leeds United transfer news.

According to Alan Nixon, Brighton is keeping an eye on Crysencio Summerville’s predicament due to concerns regarding Kaoru Mitoma. Clubs have plundered the Seagulls in recent seasons, and the Japanese international could be the next to leave.

The Japanese international arrived in Brighton for £2.5 million two years ago, but his worth is thought to have increased by a factor of 30. He was a key member of the Roberto De Zerbi team, which qualified for Europe for the first time in their history.

According to Nixon, if Brighton sells their winger, they will swoop for Summerville. The piece mentions how a large money would be required for Leeds to sell next month, but if their promotion push fails, he may depart in the summer.

According to another Nixon report, Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End have entered the hunt to recruit Leeds teenager Joe Gelhardt. This season, the forward has failed to break into Daniel Farke’s plans and need regular first-team football.

 

Gelhardt had a mixed loan experience at Sunderland last year, and Leeds are apparently planning to let him leave again next month. Elland Road bosses, on the other hand, want assurances that he will play often.

The 21-year-old has three and a half years left on his contract with the Whites and showed glimpses of quality last season. However, questions linger about where his best position is and whether he has the ruthlessness to play up front.

Hull City were thought to be leading the race, but according to the update, they now face serious competition. The two Lancashire clubs are in the Championship’s mid-table and might provide a great foundation for Gelhardt to launch his career.
