Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will be eagerly awaiting to see what their teams produce during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The London duo might have had some inspiration from the Championship play-off final that was contested between Southampton and Leeds United on Sunday.
It’s one of the biggest and most pressured games in English football, with Southampton beating Leeds 1-0 at Wembley to secure instant promotion back to the Premier League and condemn the Yorkshire club to another season in England’s second tier.
Leeds finished the regular season in third place and they produced some of the best football in the country, but it wasn’t enough to seal their return.
Throughout the season, as their star players were lighting up the Championship, transfer rumours were emerging and involving the likes of Tottenham and Arsenal.
Both teams ended the recently-concluded Premier League campaign on a sour note.
Spurs finished their first campaign under Ange Postecoglou in fifth spot, whilst Arsenal missed out on the Premier League title on the final day of the campaign to Manchester City.
Back in April, sources told HITC that Spurs and Arsenal have been checking out the attacking talents of Crysencio Summerville – and now their chances of signing him have just been boosted with that play-off final defeat.
Crysencio Summerville to leave Leeds United?
The 22-year-old scored 19 goals in England’s second tier and blew away many, many teams this season with his ‘electric’ performances.
But, unfortunately, when it mattered most and during Leeds’ biggest game of the season, he failed to turn up and was shut off by Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters.

Regardless of that, you still expect Summerville to head for the exit door and you assume the likes of Spurs and Arsenal will be on alert more than ever before now.

You feel a team like Spurs could do with Summerville’s services more than Arsenal because they need attacking players coming into their XI.

Yes, Mikel Arteta needs to fix a few spots in his team, but it’s probably in midfield, at left-back or that much-needed striker.
Postecoglou requires that winger this summer, and probably more than one, with Summerville fitting the profile of what they need.
