Roma continue to be heavily linked with a move for West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville.

The Netherlands international, 24, looks likely to depart the London Stadium during the summer transfer window.

Manchester United have had the former Leeds United ace on their radar, though any move to Old Trafford likely depends on Marcus Rashford being sold.

Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Aston Villa are among the other clubs reportedly tracking Summerville.

West Ham's relegation from the Premier League has already seen Mateus Fernandes depart, and Summerville is likely to follow him out the door.

Indeed, his agents are already in Rome, though mostly for coincidental reasons.

Why are Crysencio Summerville's agents already in Rome?

West Ham Zone has already reported how Roma are big admirers of West Ham ace Summerville.

Summerville was one of the bright notes for West Ham last season, in a dismal campaign that resulted in the drop.

He impressed for Netherlands during the World Cup, though missed a penalty in the last-32 shoot-out defeat to Morocco.

Still, he has plenty of interest and Serie A giants Roma appear to be making moves to put themselves at the front of the queue.

According to Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Summerville's agents are already in the Italian capital.

That is because they are also the representatives for Dutch defender Danilho Doekhi, and are working on finalising his contract ahead of a move from Union Berlin to Lazio.

Di Marzio adds that Summerville's representatives are likely to meet with Roma today to discuss his West Ham exit.

Who could replace Summerville at West Ham?

Much of the talk has been about outgoings at West Ham this summer.

But they are being linked with several players, too, and a number of wingers are said to be on the Hammers' radar.

Chief among those is Famalicao winger Gustavo Sa, who is said to be closing on a move to the London Stadium.

Leicester City winger Abdul Fatawu is another name prominently linked with a switch to West Ham, while Sevilla's Ruben Vargas is apparently on the Hammers' radar.

Fans will be keen to see some incomings in the near future to see what sort of direction the club are moving in.

It is a balancing act, with the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jarrod Bowen also linked with the exit door.

But Nuno Espirito Santo could definitely use some fresh faces in his squad during pre-season.
