How Aston Villa could have big say as Crysencio Summerville to decide West Ham future 'in hours'

Crysencio Summerville is set to leave West Ham this summer, with Aston Villa a potential next destination.

The Dutch international looks set to end his time with Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

It is believed that he is not willing to play in the Championship and has his sights set on one of Europe's top leagues.

West Ham Zone has previously reported on Aston Villa's interest in Summerville.

He has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham, but could also move abroad.

Roma were thought to be leading the chase for the 24-year-old, but the Villans could change everything.

Why Crysencio Summerville's West Ham exit could be completed shortly

Summerville is facing decision time on his next destination.

A report from Sky Sports Italy claims that Roma has offered a significant financial package to the player and his representatives.

However, it states that Unai Emery's side are showing serious interest and are one of the main contenders for his signature.

The former Leeds United man will make his final assessment in the "coming hours", according to the report.

He is set to return from Miami and enter meetings with his entourage, it has been claimed.

Why Summerville sale is essential for West Ham

Hammers fans may have hoped that the Netherlands international would have remained in E20, but an exit seems like a foregone conclusion at this stage.

He was one of the most promising players in the squad last season, with five goals and four assists across the league campaign.

However, the reported £45million deal that could be struck for his services would provide a financial boost to the second-tier club, who need to make sales in order to bring players in.

Ultimately, they can't offer what he wants, so they may as well get a decent profit on the winger while they can.

It may not be the best for the squad right now, but if it allows them to strengthen, and bring in multiple options for Nuno in different areas, it could work out for the best.

The goal is immediate promotion, which is not an easy task, so more quality players in the squad is a must before the campaign kicks off.
