Tottenham have been handed a potential transfer boost in the summer window, as The Athletic reports that one target is likely to leave his club in the coming weeks.
It comes as Spurs are already hard at work to rebuild the squad, in the hopes of returning to the top of the Premier League table after consecutive 17th-placed finishes.
Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi are the first two signings of the window, with the former already announced while the latter is still awaiting final confirmation.
There has been a bid rejected for Jan Paul van Hecke, as the Brighton centre-back has emerged as another possible defensive reinforcement in the window.
Beyond that, the forward ranks are also under scrutiny, with a possible ramping up of interest in those positions to come.
Crysencio Summerville Transfer Latest
Tottenham have been linked with a move for Crysencio Summerville, following previous interest in the winger as early as the January transfer window.
The West Ham winger has impressed since making the step up from the Championship with Leeds to the Premier League, becoming a key player for the Hammers, particularly in the latter half of last season.
It wasn't enough to keep the side up, however, which means the club are looking to raise funds in the transfer market with the sale of some key players.
The report from The Athletic states that while West Ham are desperate to keep the likes of Mateus Fernandes and Jarrod Bowen, Summerville is a player who is expected to leave.
That opens up the possibility of Tottenham being able to finally seal a deal for the 24-year-old winger, handing Roberto De Zerbi a clear boost in the forward line.
There is competition for the Dutch international's signature, however, as Premier League rivals Aston Villa have been noted as a team who are monitoring his situation.
It remains to be seen whether Spurs will push ahead with a deal or not, given the club's recent priority in pushing for defensive signings, but attention could shift to the forward ranks soon.
Summerville Could Improve Tottenham
If Summerville did join Tottenham, then they could be boosted by bringing in a direct attacking threat, who still has plenty of potential to grow even further.
The 24-year-old could be the player to finally seal the left-wing role, which has been passed around several names in recent years, with seven goals and five assists to his name over the past season.
His improved form has seen the star called up for the Netherlands squad at the World Cup, with his debut made for the senior side in midweek's friendly clash with Algeria.
"Overall, Summerville proved he can be dangerous with his speed and dribbling and can also hold the ball well on the inside as an extra midfielder," a report from Dutch outlet NOS said about his display.
That would certainly add something to the Tottenham squad, but there would still need to be a rebalancing of the attacking options available.
Wilson Odobert, Mathys Tel, and Richarlison can all play on the left wing, which is a lot of competition for not many matches across a full season.
While injury will impact the former of the trio, there may be questions over the future of the other two and whether there needs to be some exits in the forward line before new stars can come in.
