The Athletic: Leeds United Plans Pre-Season Amid Transfer Bids for Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville

Leeds United are facing substantial interest in Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville, but no formal offers have been made yet.

Leeds United are facing substantial interest in Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville, but no formal offers have been made yet.

After Leeds’ defeat by Southampton in the playoff final, fans immediately feared the potential departure of their star players. Two players, in particular, stand out: Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray, who had remarkable seasons in the Championship, earning Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season honors respectively.

It’s expected that both Summerville and Gray are attracting attention from various clubs as pre-season approaches. Brighton has already made formal contact regarding Summerville in June, with interest also noted from Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, though these clubs seem less advanced in their pursuits.

Regarding Gray’s future, Leeds may hope to avoid accepting bids for the teenage talent due to PSR (Premier League Strategic Review) considerations. However, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham have shown interest in the 18-year-old.

As pre-season kicks off in early July, manager Daniel Farke will soon have the opportunity to discuss these players’ futures more directly. According to The Athletic, neither player has received a bid yet:

“Discussions are happening with returning loan players. This has seen Brenden Aaronson come back into the fold, while Jack Harrison is close to rejoining Everton. The rumour mill continues to swirl around Leeds’ saleable assets in Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray and others — but nothing has yet reached the stage of a serious offer.”

Keeping Gray will be a significant challenge, given the number of clubs interested in one of England’s brightest talents. However, there is optimism that Leeds can retain the midfielder due to his strong connection with the club and the potential risks of an early move.

On the other hand, Summerville’s departure seems inevitable. Following the final whistle at Wembley, it became clear that the Championship’s best player deserves a move. Encouragingly, there are no indications that Summerville will make things difficult for the 49ers.

In summary, while strong interest surrounds Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville, Leeds United has not yet received formal bids. The club faces a tough task in retaining Gray amidst widespread interest, but there is hope due to his connection with Leeds. Summerville, however, appears destined to move on, with his outstanding performance in the Championship justifying a step up.
