The post-Mbappé era has begun at Paris Saint-Germain. Who will come to strengthen the Parisian attack? For several weeks, the name of Napoli’s Georgian star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been mentioned insistently. But dislodging the Tbilisi native is very complicated. The Partenopei are demanding at least €120 million and in any case, their new coach, Antonio Conte, has made it known that he does not want to let his player go.
Faced with this deadlocked situation, has Paris changed its approach? The Dutch newspaper From Telegraph dropped a small bombshell by revealing that the reigning French champions have set their sights on Crysencio Summerville. Also courted by Brighton, Liverpool, Chelsea and Fulham, the young Dutchman aged 22 is under contract with Leeds until June 2026.
Summerville coming off big season with Leeds
Paris would be in pole position in this case and it remains to be seen how much money the Peacocks want to receive in the event of a transfer, but Summerville is one of the gems of the last Championship season. Author of 21 goals and 10 assists in 49 matches, all competitions, the Dutchman was trained at Feyenoord, then loaned to Ado Den Haag before leaving for England in 2020.

A right-handed winger playing on the left side and who likes to cut into the middle, Summerville has the profile of a young talent in the making with the advantage of being available at a price four times lower than a Kvaratskhelia.
