Crysencio Summerville

Crysencio Jilbert Sylverio Cirro Summerville (born 30 October 2001) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger for club Leeds United.

Feyenoord
Born in Rotterdam to Afro-Surinamese parents, Summerville played youth football at RVVV Noorderkwartier before joining the Feyenoord academy in 2008. In March 2018, he signed his first professional contract with Feyenoord; a contract lasting until the summer of 2021.

On 12 December 2018, he joined FC Dordrecht on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season. He made his Eerste Divisie debut for Dordrecht on 13 January 2019 in a game against Den Bosch, as a 70th-minute substitute for Oussama Zamouri. On 29 January 2019, he made his starting eleven debut for the club, scoring his first goal as a professional footballer in the sixth minute.

In August 2019, he joined fellow Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag on loan. He made his debut for the club on 31 August 2019 in a 1–0 win against VVV Venlo in a 1–0 victory. On 26 October 2019, he scored his first Eredivisie goal for ADO Den Haag on 26 October 2019 in a 2–0 win against Vitesse Arnhem, becoming the youngest goalscorer for the club in the Eredivisie. He impressed for the club during his spell, scoring two goals and gained three assists for the side.

He returned to Feyenoord at the end of his loan spell ahead of the 2020–21 Eredivisie season, with Voetbal International reporting on 17 August 2020 that Summerville had turned down a new extended contract offer at Feyenoord.

Leeds United
On 16 September 2020, Summerville joined Leeds United for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.

He made his debut on 17 September 2021 against Newcastle United, in the Premier League, coming on for Raphinha in the 67th minute.

In August 2022 Summerville agreed a new contract at Leeds until 2026.

On 23 October 2022, Summerville scored his first Premier League goal in a 3–2 defeat against Fulham at Elland Road. On 29 October, he scored the winning goal in the 89th minute in a 2–1 victory over Liverpool, making it his club's first win at Anfield since April 2001, simultaneously ending Liverpool's 29-game unbeaten streak at home in the Premier League. On 5 November 2022, he scored another late winning goal to give Leeds a come-from-behind 4–3 win at home against Bournemouth. His goal in Leeds’ 4–3 away loss at Tottenham Hotspur on 12 November brought Summerville's league tally to four goals in four consecutive games, as the Premier League went on hiatus for the World Cup. However, Summerville did not find the net again in either the league or the cup for the remainder of the season and found himself often substituted or, when not in the starting XI, coming on usually as a direct second-half replacement for Brenden Aaronson; Leeds United suffered from poor form during this period and were consequently relegated from the Premier League.

Summerville scored a brace in an eight-minute spell at Carrow Road in a late-in-the-game 3–2 win on 21 October 2023. This was the first time since May 2021 that Leeds had had three victories in a row and moved them up to third in the Championship. He followed this up seven days later with another pair of goals, both scored in the first half, in the team’s 4–1 home victory over Huddersfield. Summerville further proved instrumental in the Leeds side, where, after an assist to Piroe in a 2-1 win against Plymouth on November 11 2023, he would have a goal contribution in five consecutive games. In 2024, Leeds went on a 16-game unbeaten run, in which Summerville played every game, ending in a 2-1 loss to Coventry in April. Afterwards, Leeds went on a string of bad form, achieving only 1 win in 6 games, a win at Middlesbrough, where Summerville netted a brace and an assist in a dramatic 3-4 scoreline. Leeds finished 3rd in the campaign, with Summerville named the Championship Player of the Season and a place in the Championship Team of the Season at the 2024 EFL Awards. In the second leg of the Championship play-off semi-final, Crysencio scored the fourth goal in a 4-0 hammering at Elland Road to Norwich on May 16. Following their win, Leeds progressed to the play-off final, where they lost 0-1 to Southampton at Wembley on May 25, putting an end to hopes of a rebound return to the Premier League. He ended the season with 21 goals and 10 assists in 49 appearances, achieving the title of top scorer for the Whites.

International career
Born in the Netherlands, Summerville is of Surinamese descent. He won the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship with the Netherlands national under-17 football team, scoring a goal in the group game against Germany and appearing as a substitute in the final against Italy.
