Manchester United\u2019s pursuit of Crysencio Summerville is under threat as Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have entered the race for the West Ham United winger, according to a new report.<\/p>\n
No.1 Target<\/h5>\n
With the valuations of their leading candidates for the left wing, Yan Diomande and Morgan Rogers, reaching in excess of \u00a3100 million, Manchester United have focused on Summerville as their \u201cNo.1 target\u201d this summer.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Netherlands international, who impressed at the World Cup with two goals and two assists in four games for Ronald Koeman\u2019s side, enjoyed a positive season for West Ham, despite the Hammers being unable to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n
Possessing dizzying dribbling skills and outstanding acceleration, the \u201cincredible\u201d Rotterdam native is a dual threat, capable of going inside or outside, and is equally comfortable on both wings. This versatility will be attractive to the hierarchy at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
West Ham are demanding \u00a350 million to sanction a departure. The East London club proved they are resolute negotiators in United\u2019s protracted pursuit of Mateus Fernandes, which ultimately ended in Tottenham Hotspur hijacking the deal by paying the full \u00a385 million asking price.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils are wary of Tottenham Hotspur doing the same with Summerville, as Roberto De Zerbi wants more variety in his forward line. Chelsea and Liverpool have also been credited as suitors, while European champions Paris Saint-Germain expressed interest last month.<\/p>\n
But it could be a blockbuster offer from the Middle East which gets the green light from West Ham before United are able to act \u2013 for two key reasons.<\/p>\n
Key target for Al-Hilal<\/h5>\n
Paddy Keogh (Attacking Football) reveals Al-Hilal have made Summerville a \u201ckey target\u201d this summer. The Blue Waves, who finished third in the Saudi Pro League last season, want to replace Brazilian winger Malcom \u2013 with the flying Dutchman their first-choice option.<\/p>\n
Al-Hilal are \u201cpushing\u201d to strike a deal, with their financial backing making a \u00a350 million offer easy to table. Keogh confirms West Ham are \u201copen to a sale\u201d if their asking price is met, offering a mirror to the situation with Fernandes.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Fulham are also said to be in the hunt, though the Cottagers do not pose the same type of threat to United, particularly as a report relayed by The Peoples Person<\/em> revealed Summerville is prioritising a switch to Old Trafford. The market for the 28-year-old England international is proving sparse, however, while his continued participation in the World Cup with the Three Lions is a further obstacle. This delay could prove costly if Al-Hilal get the green light from West Ham and a payday is offered to Summerville which blows anything he would earn in Europe out of the water.<\/p>\n Featured image Julian Finney via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.

However, if the Red Devils are not willing to meet the \u00a350 million threshold, Al-Hilal could steal a march on them, as Tottenham Hotspur did for Fernandes. INEOS have already opened talks with West Ham, though the hierarchy are understood to want to sell Marcus Rashford to free up funds.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/affiliate-christmas-campaign-25-1500x300-en-uk-min.png\")
