Feyenoord made a late bid to try and sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United in the January transfer window, but he proved to expensive.
That’s according to Algemeen Dagblad and journalist Mikos Gouka, relayed by Football Transfers, who say the Leeds man proved out of the Dutch side’s reach.
The newspaper explains that Feyenoord coach Arne Slot had expressed a wish for an attacking reinforcement before the end of the winter window and his club tried to give him that, scouring the market for options.
One of those was former player Crysencio Summerville, who they sold to Leeds in September 2020, a move they’ve come to regret as he’s impressed at Elland Road.
Further inquiries were then seemingly held about the move, at which point the Dutch side discovered the Leeds star would be too expensive anyway.
“Feyenoord wanted an attacker who could immediately strengthen the club at the top,” Gouka wrote in his piece in Algemeen Dagblad.
“That could have been Crysencio Summerville, but the Leeds United attacker, who was trained at Feyenoord, turned out to be too expensive.”
There’s no mention of the asking price Leeds set, although Football Transfers reference previous reports from England linking the likes of Newcastle, Aston Villa and Liverpool to the player which stated Leeds wanted at least €35m last month.
Nobody was willing to pay that, particularly Feyenoord, and so Summerville has remained at Elland Road to lead their charge for automatic promotion.
