PREMIER - Leeds turned down four Eredivisie offers for Summerville

FC Utrecht saw Gyrano Kerk leave for Spartak Moscow. The deadline had already passed in the Netherlands, but the market in Russia continues for a while longer. However, the deal had been in the air for a while, so the Domstedelingen have tried to get a replacement. Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United was high on the wish list, but turned out not to be feasible.

De Telegraaf reported this on Thursday afternoon based on English sources. Rene Hake's team would like to hire the winger, but the Premier League club was resolute: the attacker was not allowed to leave. The English chose to rent out Helder Costa and Poveda, which increased the chance of playing time for the Dutchman. Trainer Marcelo Bielsa is charmed by the talent and would therefore like to keep him with the team to further mold him.

The attacker is in good shape in the Netherlands: SC Cambuur, FC Groningen and SC Heerenveen also informed Summerville this summer. Those clubs also received zero from Leeds United. It will give the talented attacker hope that the club has such confidence in him, but this season he will mainly be on the reserve bench in Premier League games. The 19-year-old attacker will have to take his minutes in the Under-23, where he also played last season.

FC Utrecht sold Gyrano Kerk this week for 7 million euros to the Russian Lokomotiv Moscow. Because of bonuses, that amount can rise even further, but a replacement was eventually not found despite the hefty amount of money. Moussa Sylla was allowed to start in the base against Feyenoord. The lightning-fast attacker was already taken over from AS Monaco last season, but was unable to secure a permanent base place. Now he has to compete with Mimoun Mahi and Remco Balk.
