Decisions will have to be made quickly on Crysencio Summerville when he returns to Leeds United for pre-season. With a January transfer request rejected and less than one year on his contract, Victor Orta and Jesse Marsch should have already made up their minds on his next step.
The Netherlands winger was ruled out for the rest of the season when he twisted his ankle in late April, but more than once Marsch said he had planned to use Summerville more. In his final debrief of the season, Marsch said exactly what the 20-year-old needed to hear as he went away for a summer break.

He said: “Yeah, it’s too bad Cry got hurt because he was emerging as a better player and engaging in the group more and more.
