Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea 'learn asking price for Championship star'

Premier League giants Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly learned what it will take to prise Crysencio Summerville away from Leeds United this summer.

The 22-year-old was recently bestowed with the Championship Player of the Season prize on account of having a direct hand in 28 goals in 41 second-tier appearances in 2023-24.

Summerville has conjured up 19 goals of his own in addition to nine assists, and he once again stole the spotlight during Monday's absorbing 4-3 triumph over Middlesbrough, scoring twice and setting up Wilfried Gnonto.

Leeds' thrilling win lifted them back into the top two of the Championship table at Ipswich Town's expense, although the Tractor Boys — who are one point behind — and leaders Leicester City, who are one point clear, each have a game in hand.

The Whites' automatic survival bid is therefore out of their own hands, and they would likely be fighting a losing battle to retain their prized assets if they fail to return to the big time via the playoffs either.

Summerville already has Premier League experience under his belt, making 34 appearances in the competition across his first two seasons with the Whites, scoring four goals in the 2022-23 campaign.

Even if Leeds' promotion bid ends in failure, the former Feyenoord youngster is being tipped to return to the big time with one of three revered names in Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool this summer.

With Summerville having two years left to run on his contract, Football Insider claims that interested parties will have to stump up at least £30m and potentially up to £40m to sign him in the upcoming window.

Leeds are supposedly hoping to get Summerville to extend his contract between now and
