Crysencio Summerville’s West Ham exit seems to be edging closer.<\/b><\/div>\n
It’s been well known for sometime now that the 24-year-old will likely leave London Stadium this summer, especially after relegation was confirmed back in May.<\/div>\n

The winger’s performances for the Netherlands at the World Cup fuelled exit reports and the club knows it will not be able to keep him at the club this summer.<\/p>\n

Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked with a move for the player this summer, and it appears the Blues have made the first move.<\/div>\n
According to prominent Chelsea journalist Si Phillips, Chelsea have opened talks with West Ham over a move for Summerville.<\/div>\n

It’s claimed Xabi Alonso’s side had already extensively scouted the Dutchman when he was at Leeds United, and now they’re ready to bring him to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

West Ham continue to hold firm on valuation<\/h2>\n
As we reported yesterday, West Ham are sticking to their guns on player valuations this summer.<\/div>\n

They were adamant they would only sell Mateus Fernandes for nothing less than \u00a385m and eventually got that fee when Tottenham agreed to meet the asking price.<\/p>\n

And now they’re quoting \u00a350m to anyone showing an interest in Summerville.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have been told what the asking price is and while a deal is by no means close to agreement, it’s believed talks are ‘developing.’<\/p>\n

On top of that, the Blues have also had dialogue with Summerville’s agent. The player’s wage demands are not believed to be an issue for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Deal could play into West Ham’s hands<\/h2>\n

Indeed, Summerville isn’t the only topic of conversation between the Chelsea and West Ham boardrooms.<\/p>\n

Its been reported for some time now that the Hammers are interested in bringing Axel Disasi back to east London after his successful six-month loan spell last season.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman is surplus to requirements at Chelsea and is expected to leave the club permanently this summer.<\/p>\n

Despite relegation to the Championship, West Ham appear to be hopeful of a deal to bring Disasi back to the club.<\/p>\n

The defender admitted that he loved playing for the club during his short spell and wished the club an immediate return to the Premier League after he left.<\/p>\n

Whether he would be keen on playing a season in the Championship remains to be seen, but previous reports have suggested he isn’t ruling out a return.<\/div>\n

If a deal for Disasi is there to be done, West Ham could use Chelsea’s interest in Summerville as leverage.<\/p>\n

A player plus cash deal for Summerville isn’t entirely out of the question in this situation, and West Ham could look to include a move for Disasi in any deal that sees Summerville head to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
