Crysencio Summerville could be on his way out of Leeds United in the January transfer window as his performances will be earning him admirers.
That’s according to journalist Suleyman Özturk, who believes the winger should also be a permanent fixture in the Netherlands squad under Ronald Koeman.
Summerville has started this season in superb form for Leeds with six goals and four assists in 11 games so far despite only featuring in 65% of the available minutes.
The season is looking likely to be a defining one for him if he continues on his current path, particularly as Leeds look to secure a quick return back to the Premier League.
Summerville might not be around long enough to help them achieve that, though, at least as far as Özturk is concerned.
“He is one of, if not the best player in the Championship,” he said.
“He reminds me a bit of Kaoru Mitoma. He really is a complete left winger. The Championship is a playground for him.”
In the meantime, Summerville will continue to shine for Leeds, with his performances so far meaning he has been involved in a goal every 136 minutes.
Those are the kind of numbers which would usually ensure a call up to the national side, but that is yet to happen for him with the Netherlands, where he has only featured for the youth sides.
Current Oranje boss Ronald Koeman is yet to give him his chance to impress, instead preferring to continue with the likes of Steven Bergwijn, Xavi Simons, Donyell Malen and Cody Gakpo, to name a few.
That’s wrong according to Özturk, who feels the Leeds star should be given his chance sooner rather than later.
“I think he is eligible for the Dutch team,” he added.
“You can bring him in in the last half hour, when the spaces become larger, and you have to force something against Italy or France. If Koeman takes football seriously, he will put him on the list.”
