Crysencio Summerville: West Ham sign forward from Leeds for undisclosed fee

West Ham have completed the signing of forward Crysencio Summerville from Leeds for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old, who was crowned last season's Championship Player of the Year, had become West Ham's primary target in that position.

The Dutchman scored 21 goals across 49 games in all competitions last season as Leeds missed out on promotion after defeat in the play-off final.

Summerville had entered the final two years of his Leeds contract and departs Elland Road after four years at the club.

The ex-Feyenoord forward becomes West Ham's fourth summer signing following the arrivals of defender Max Kilman, winger Luis Guilherme and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.

Meanwhile, the Hammers have agreed a deal worth £27.5m including add-ons for Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug while there is growing optimism West Ham can also strike a deal with Manchester United for right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
