Aston Villa add Liverpool-linked attacker to list of ‘long-term targets’

Recent sources suggest that Unai Emery has Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United on his wish list as Aston Villa gets ready to take on Liverpool in their pursuit of a new wide attacker.

The Villians, along with Brighton and Hove Albion, have reportedly identified Leeds United’s in-form number 10 as a “long-term” transfer target, according to Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider.

Although a move for the 22-year-old Dutchman is unlikely to materialise this month, the summer window could see the trio of Premier League clubs make their move, especially if the Whites fail to win promotion.

Enjoying a fantastic individual campaign, Summerville, who has already scored 12 goals and registered six assists in his first 23 Championship appearances, is undoubtedly one of the club’s most important players.

But that kind of form often attracts unwanted attention, and Leeds will know their Rotterdam-born attacker will be difficult to hold onto beyond this season, as Liverpool are reputedly among the youngster’s admirers.

Brighton and Villa, on the other hand, will both believe they merit further thought. For athletes that wish to advance and further their careers, both clubs are quite tempting.However, the allure of Anfield and working under Jurgen Klopp might be too strong to resist, so supporters will be curious to watch how this story plays out.
