West Ham United are prepared to cash-in on one of their most important players for just £26m this summer, and Tottenham Hotspur are in the picture to sign him.

West Ham set to focus on staying up after FA Cup defeat

Despite bagging two goals in stoppage time to force extra-time, West Ham were dumped out of the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage on Sunday, with Leeds United booking their place at Wembley later this month courtesy of a victory on penalties.

Although the Hammers ultimately came up just short, Nuno was pleased by the fight that was on show, which will serve his side well heading into the crucial final seven games of the Premier League season.

Indeed, while missing out on a FA Cup semi-final is very disappointing, the Irons can now, at the very least, fully focus on preserving their Premier League status, with Nuno's side currently one point away from safety.

However, given that there haven't been many positives to take from the campaign, the manager may want to reshape his squad in the summer, and one of the 52-year-old's key players could be sold.

West Ham prepared to offload "fantastic" player

According to a report from Italy (via Sport Witness), West Ham are willing to cash-in on Crysencio Summerville for the low fee of just €30m (£26m) in the summer, amid widespread interest in the winger.

Aston Villa, Brentford, AFC Bournemouth, Everton and Tottenham are eyeing moves for the Dutchman, while Marseille, Napoli, Atalanta and Villarreal headline the interest from abroad.

Lauded as "fantastic" by former Leeds man Carlton Palmer, the 24-year-old has been one of few bright sparks for the Hammers, in an otherwise disappointing campaign, picking up seven goals and four assists in 27 matches across all competitions.

West Ham had to make do without the forward against Leeds, which was frustrating, given that he could've been a difference-maker, having received plaudits after impressing against Burton Albion earlier in the competition.

Nuno said: "He’s doing a good job. He’s in a good moment. Forward players need this confidence, and he has that one-v-one [ability]. When he can use it in [these kinds of] spaces, he’s almost unstoppable."
