Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is said to be ‘crazy’ about Crysencio Summerville by NOS in Holland.

Leeds have only just signed Summerville from Feyenoord this summer for a relatively small fee, of just under £1 million.

But Bielsa is said to already have seriously high hopes for the winger at Elland Road.

The Argentine boss is believed to be a massive fan of his ‘qualities’, and it will now be interesting to see if he is fast-tracked into Leeds’ first-team upon arrival.

Leeds have signed a clutch of exciting youngsters this summer, with the Whites’ recruitment focused on the long-term as well as the immediate future.

While Summerville’s chances of playing regularly this season may be slim, in the years ahead Leeds could be thankful for the transfer.

Summerville may only be 18-years-old, but he proved last season that he was capable of playing regular football, after impressing on a loan spell with Ado Den Haag.

And with Bielsa apparently such a big admirer of his talents, it will be interesting to see how well he develops at Leeds.
