Behaviour, mentality and professionalism have all been on the agenda for Crysencio Summerville as Jesse Marsch looks to carve a pathway to a long-term Leeds United future for the winger. Marcelo Bielsa confirmed the 20-year-old asked to leave the club in January in order to play more minutes this season, but the club blocked that exit with too few bodies in the building.
Inevitably, there will be more interest in the summer in a winger who has still only played 122 minutes of Premier League action this season. Summerville’s contract, barring undisclosed extension clauses, is also set to expire in a little over 12 months, strengthening his bargaining power this close season.
Raphinha, Jack Harrison and Daniel James all stand between Summerville and the first team at Leeds. If he has serious ambitions of overcoming that competition to play in the most-watched division on the planet, there are clearly off-field matters he must address.
