Fulham have entered the race for Crysencio Summerville, with Tottenham and Man United among the clubs also monitoring the winger’s situation this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur will be relieved to have avoided relegation last season, when they came dangerously close to dropping into the Championship.
An improved run-in during the Premier League campaign proved just enough for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, who managed 11 points from their final 21 available.
Spurs now appear to have learned their lesson after flirting with the drop and have since moved to strengthen their squad.
Fulham make move for Tottenham target Crysencio Summerville
So far, Tottenham have secured the services of six new players. Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka arrived on free transfers to bolster the defence, while Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali were signed for a combined £237 million to reinforce both defence and midfield.
The expectation now is that Spurs will turn their attention to the attack, with several names linked – including Summerville.
Tottenham have shown interest, but a report from the Guardian has now thrown fellow London side Fulham into the mix.
The publication makes it clear that Summerville is expected to move this summer, with Fulham placing him on their shortlist as a potential replacement for Harry Wilson, who has departed the club.
Spurs can be confident in Summerville pursuit despite competition
Chelsea and Manchester United have also been mentioned as possible destinations for Summerville, though it remains to be seen whether he will secure such a high-profile move.
In fact, Man United are said to have opened talks over signing Summerville to reinforce their options at left wing this summer. Spurs are still mentioned as a potential destination for the West Ham star, though.
While competition is never ideal, Tottenham fans may not be overly concerned given the intent Spurs have already shown this summer.
Tottenham beat United to the signing of Fernandes and City to Tonali, and there is every reason to believe they could outmanoeuvre Fulham, United and Chelsea if they decide to make a move for Summerville.
