A street mentality around Leeds United’s training ground made things choppy for Crysencio Summerville in an opening six months he now admits were ‘very difficult’ for him. The Dutch winger has bemoaned his poor English, living in a hotel and away from his favourite people during a transition in which he was calling his agent every day for an escape route.
Last night, Summerville was involved as the Netherlands crashed out of the European Under-21 Championship at the group stage. The 21-year-old will now take a long-awaited break and consider his future.
There are another three years to run on the contract Summerville signed last August, but he has already admitted this month he does not know if he will be at Elland Road next year. Summerville had made it clear, more than once, his agent was under strict instructions to hold back any transfer talk until after the summer tournament.
