‘Outstanding’ 22-year-old could end up staying at club despite interest from Chelsea

Chelsea will be hoping that one Championship club do not get promoted this season, as it could potentially impact their transfer plans.

Chelsea have a few young wingers who have a lot of potential.

Cole Palmer is the standout among them as he continues to make an impact in the present. He has already scored 20 goals in the Premier League after putting four past Everton yesterday.

Nevertheless, it looks like the Blues could still try to add to that area of the pitch with another young player.

Mykhailo Mudryk, 23, and Noni Madueke, 22, are the other two young wide attackers Mauricio Pochettino currently has at his disposal. Both started in Chelsea’s 6-0 win against Everton, but Pochettino would not have been happy with the latter after his penalty antics.

Winger could remain at current club despite Chelsea circling

Mudryk has been in and out of Chelsea’s team this season. Perhaps Pochettino is not fully convinced by the Ukrainian.

If so, maybe the Blues will make a move for a new left winger in the summer.

According to HITC, Chelsea are one of several clubs who have been looking at Leeds United star Crysencio Summerville.

However, journalist Ben Jacobs has suggested that the 22-year-old is likely to stay at Leeds if they win promotion back to the Premier League.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, he said: “Leeds’ priority and Summerville’s priority is to get them into the Premier League. If that happens, then Summerville, from what I hear, is very committed to Leeds. He is enjoying playing under Daniel Farke and he’s very much ignoring the noise.

“There’s been no concrete approach to Leeds yet. There’s been no talk of valuation. Even though we hear, understandably, a lot about interest, clubs are not stupid. They know when is the right and the wrong time to make an approach.”

How has Crysencio Summerville caught Chelsea’s attention?

Summerville is having an excellent season in the Championship, scoring 17 goals in 40 appearances.

Hailed as an “outstanding creative player” by manager Daniel Farke, the Dutchman was just named Championship Player of the Year.

At 22, though, Summerville would be another young addition to Chelsea’s squad who they may have to develop for a few years before he can start making a serious impact.

But sitting ninth in the table, Chelsea should only be signing players who can win games for them now, and there is obviously no guarantee that a wide man from the Championship will be able to do that.
