The main benefactor from Daniel James’s 11th-hour switch from Leeds United to Fulham was already inside Elland Road as the transfer window closed. From filing a request to leave in January for more playing time, Crysencio Summerville has become one of the key game-changers Jesse Marsch needs from the bench.
The 20-year-old has had to be patient and bide his time with the Whites. Since posting some scintillating form with the under-23s at the start of last season, the Dutch winger has had to watch Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood flourish with the first team.
Now, after a new contract and the illustrious number 10 shirt, Summerville could not have been given more backing by the Whites. James’s exit only underlined the faith the United hierarchy has in the former ADO Den Haag prospect.
