Roma want West Ham relegation so they can sign Crysencio Summerville

Crysencio Summerville has come up with important contributions for West Ham this season. This has helped the attacker attract attention from elsewhere.

The winger has seven goals and four assists in all competitions. But in a Hammers’ side struggling against relegation, he scored in four games in a row between January and February.

Summerville also found the net against Fulham in March, scoring West Ham’s solitary goal in a 1-0 win.

His contributions have helped Nuno Espirito Santo’s side grab four wins, with one coming against relegation rivals Tottenham.

That, in itself, shows Summerville’s importance to the team. Sport Witness have covered Galatasaray’s interest in the winger but the 24-year-old is now seen as a target in Italy.

Roma monitoring Hammers’ star

Il Messaggero – relayed by Giallorossi.net, report that AS Roma are looking to improve their attack in the summer. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have struggled in that department through the season, with only Donyell Malen making the impact desired.

That is why West Ham’s Summerville is seen as a major option. The attacker is someone who has been of interest to Roma in the past but current needs mean he is back on their radar.

The Giallorossi are now hoping for the Hammers’ relegation. It is hoped this will help them iron out a favourable deal.

Gasperini is believed to be a big fan of the Dutchman, his pace, acceleration and how he has made an impact in England.

Roma’s task won’t be easy

Summerville is likely to attract a lot of interest in the summer. Premier League clubs can also come forward, especially as he has been a difference-maker this season.

If Roma do not qualify for the Champions League, their task of signing the winger will be quite difficult. A suitor like Galatasaray will offer Champions League football and can also offer him a higher wage.

Although it’s not stated explicitly, Roma’s likely plan will be to hope for West Ham relegation and then try with a loan plus option offer. Even if the Hammers go down, they can surely get a better deal than that.
