Reputable journalist Ben Jacobs reports that direct contact has occurred between Manchester United and West Ham, although negotiations are still in the early phases. The 24-year-old Dutch winger is considered a vital part of United’s transfer strategy.

The future of Marcus Rashford could influence the next steps in this deal. If Rashford departs from Old Trafford this summer, Manchester United is likely to accelerate their efforts to secure Summerville’s transfer.

Last season, Summerville made a notable impact, playing in 34 matches for West Ham, where he scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists. His current market value is estimated at 35 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.
