Leeds to benefit from Crysencio Summerville sale?
Leeds United could receive a percentage of West Ham’s profit under a clause in the deal, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. West Ham paid around £25 million to sign the player, and they would have to sell him for a substantial profit in order for Leeds United to earn anything meaningful from the clause.
West Ham are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether they can stay up. They are already lacking in quality in the attacking unit, and keeping Summerville at the club would be ideal for them. It seems unlikely that they will sanction his departure.

Can West Ham keep Summerville?
If they do go down at the end of the season, it will be difficult for them to keep their best players. The former Leeds United attacker will want to move on and join a Premier League club. He is too good to play in the Championship, and he will not want to continue with West Ham United if they are relegated.
Meanwhile, Leeds are well placed to secure safety in the Premier League this season, and they need to keep improving the team in order to sustain their place in the top flight regularly. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right players during the summer transfer window and improve on this season.
