Summerville transfer: Chelsea scouted Leeds winger

Chelsea have reportedly been scouting Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville for a long time, though Brighton are currently thought to be leading the race for his signature, according to Simon Phillips.

Summerville looks like a player with a big future, and he surely could have done a job for big clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool, though he’ll no doubt see Brighton as a good stepping stone move for him in his development.
