Aston Villa will need to pay a substantial fee if they wish to sign Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United this summer, with the relegated club demanding £43 million for the Dutch winger.
West Ham Set High Price for Summerville
West Ham United have reportedly placed a £43 million price tag on Crysencio Summerville, who is a target for Aston Villa. The 24-year-old Dutch winger is currently representing his country at the World Cup and is expected to leave the London Stadium following West Ham's relegation to the Championship.
Summerville joined West Ham for a fee exceeding £25 million in August 2024 and delivered consistent performances during the last campaign, recording nine goal contributions in a struggling side. He scored seven goals across all competitions, including five in the Premier League, with four of those league goals coming in consecutive matches between January and February.
PSG Also Interested
With several clubs showing interest, including Aston Villa who are keen to strengthen their wide options this summer, West Ham have set a significant asking price. Amid reported interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Foot Mercato claims the Hammers will demand €50 million (£43 million) for the Dutchman, a valuation that has already deterred more than one potential suitor.
Villa Consider Alternatives
Villa are also said to be considering alternative winger targets, including Ibrahim Mbaye, Harvey Barnes, Karim Adeyemi, and Jonathan Rowe. The club's recruitment team is working to identify the best options to bolster the squad ahead of the new season.
