Manchester United appear set to miss out on Crysencio Summerville, with the West Ham United attacker reportedly closing in on a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. Reports indicate that a deal worth around £68 million, or about $91 million, has been agreed.
The development is a blow to United, who had been linked with the Dutch winger as they looked at attacking options. If the transfer is completed as expected, the Premier League side will no longer be in the running for a player who had been viewed as a possible target.
For West Ham, the reported agreement would represent a major outgoing transfer and a significant fee for one of their attacking players. For Al-Hilal, it would add another high-profile name from European football as Saudi clubs continue to compete for top talent.
While the move has not been officially finalized in the information available, the current direction of the negotiations suggests Summerville is heading away from England rather than to Old Trafford. That leaves Manchester United to reassess their plans in the market as the winger nears a Saudi switch.
