Arne Slot is believed to be a big fan of Leeds winger Crysenico Summerville, and could look to bring the winger to Anfield next season.

The soon-to-be Liverpool manager has long appreciated Summerville’s talents during his tenure with Feyenoord, and the opportunity to work with the versatile forward at Liverpool is likely very appealing [1908.NL]

This season, Summerville has tallied 19 goals and provided nine assists in 42 Championship matches for Leeds.

Despite his contributions, Leeds may miss out on a promotion celebration, as Ipswich Town is just one point away from clinching second place, behind Leicester.

The Daily Express have now claimed that Summerville is a genuine target for the Anfield club as they seek to reinforce and replenish the squad in the summer transfer window.

Much has been said about the hole that Sadio Mane left when he departed in 2022.

For all Mohamed Salah’s exploits, it was the Senegal international that really stepped up in key parts of certain seasons for the Reds.

In Liverpool’s title winning campaign, it was Mane that scored crucial goals in the run-in to winning the coveted trophy,

And again in the 2021/22 season, the former Liverpool man was the better of the two players after January, as Liverpool chased an unprecedented quadruple.

Online comparisons have been drawn between the forward and Mane, attributed to his energetic style, refined technique, and a penchant for scoring late, crucial winners—traits that align him closely with the Liverpool legend.

For all the postives Luis Diaz has brought, it’s fair to say that Sadio Mane has never truly been replaced.

Furthermore, the Colombian has been linked with a move away, casting further doubt on his long-term future at Anfield.

How much could Crysenico Summerville cost Liverpool?

Fabrizio Romano has already reported that Liverpool have been scouting Summerville.

Though he might not immediately secure a starting spot, his adaptability could be a major advantage as the team pursues major titles.

The Dutch youth international’s price tag could rise considerably if Leeds aims for a hefty transfer fee and Liverpool shows interest.

If Leeds achieves promotion back to the Premier League, Summerville’s market value could potentially increase even more.

Nonetheless, the Daily Express have claimed that Summerville will cost more than the £30m they paid for Southampton for Mane in 2016 – suggesting that a fee closer to £40 million might be required to secure the Dutch winger.
