West Ham star who rejected Premier League rivals must start against Tottenham
West Ham head into the London derby against Tottenham full of confidence.
The Hammers beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the City Ground before the international break, in their first win of the season.
West Ham welcome Tottenham to the London Stadium, where they will want to continue their momentum after a tough beginning to the campaign.
The international break allowed Graham Potter to assess his options ahead of another massive clash at the weekend.
The Hammers boss has a bit of a selection headache in attack, but one option available to him could be one of the first names on the team sheet.
Crysencio Summerville should start for West Ham vs Tottenham
West Ham have struggled in attack this season, only registering an 11% shot conversion rate through three games per FotMob.
Crysencio Summerville is one option that could help make the difference against Tottenham on Saturday.
The winger was excellent coming off the bench against Forest, even registering an assist in his short cameo.
| Stats vs Nottingham Forest | Crysencio Summerville |
| Assists | 1 |
| Penalties won | 1 |
| Accurate passes | 5/5 |
| Chances created | 1 |
Jarrod Bowen was full of praise for Sumerville after his impact off the bench at the City Ground.
The winger can provide a direct approach for West Ham with his dribbling ability and speed, which could cause problems for Spurs.
Niclas Fullkrug is struggling with an injury, which could provide the chance for Bowen to move more centrally with Summerville out wide.
While Callum Wilson is also an option, Summerville would be a different type of threat Potter could use at the weekend.
Summerville looking to kickstart Hammers career
Summerville has not set the world alight since his move to the London Stadium last summer.
West Ham spent £25million on the Dutchman last August, but he hasn’t quite lived up to the price tag yet.
Summerville was rumoured with a switch to Nottingham Forest this summer as a replacement for Anthony Elanga.
Borussia Dortmund were also linked, but Summerville decided to stay and fight for his place in East London.
If he can build on his performance against Forest, the 23-year-old has the ability to be a big-time player for West Ham this season.
