Leeds United are of course busy recruiting for their return to the Premier League, with first-team additions vital.

However, Leeds have also been bringing in young players for the future, such as Dani van den Heuvel, Cody Drameh, Charlie Allen, Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood.

The Whites are building up quite an impressive Under-23 side, which should give Leeds a bright future and a number of talented prospects to bring through.

It now seems that another youngster is heading to Elland Road, with Algemeen Dagblad reporting on Friday that the Whites are closing in on Feyenoord winger Crysencio Summerville.

The Daily Mail add that Leeds would be paying just £1.3million for Summerville, with talks over a deal ongoing.

Summerville, 18, is one of the top prospects from the Feyenoord ranks, and he notched two goals and three assists out on loan at ADO Den Haag last season.

The speedy winger has real potential, and Leeds could be landing a bargain with the youngster inside the final year of his Feyenoord contract.

Both sets of fans have been reacting to the news, with Leeds supporters believing that this is ‘shrewd business’, branding Summerville a ‘top talent’ and a ‘great signing’ who could be a first-team player in no time.

Feyenoord supporters think that Summerville is a little lightweight but unbelievably fast, and think he ultimately needs to improve a lot upon making his move to Elland Road.
