Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville this summer, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
This move is being considered as Barcelona expresses interest in Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, prompting the Reds to explore potential replacements should Diaz depart.

Summerville had an impressive season in the Championship, scoring 19 goals and providing nine assists in 43 appearances.
His performance has caught the attention of Liverpool, who are now contemplating a move for the 22-year-old Dutchman.
Romano, speaking with Ben Jacobs, confirmed Liverpool’s interest and indicated that the club might make a concrete approach for Summerville this summer.
Despite Barcelona’s interest in Diaz, Romano notes that it is almost impossible for the Spanish giants to lure him away from Anfield at this point.
Therefore, Liverpool’s decision to pursue Summerville hinges on whether they retain Diaz.
Leeds United has reportedly set a £35 million price tag for Summerville. The versatile forward can play on both wings, is technically adept, quick, and capable of dribbling past defenders in tight spaces.
He also has a knack for creating scoring opportunities for his teammates and finishing chances himself, making him a valuable asset for any team.
Summerville’s potential acquisition would align with Liverpool’s strategy of securing young, talented players. However, the club is also prioritizing strengthening their defense and midfield this summer, indicating a busy transfer window ahead.
How much Liverpool decides to invest in reinforcing their frontline remains to be seen, but Summerville could be a significant addition to their attacking options.
