Round-up: Brighton eye move for Leeds United star, Harrogate Town land Championship winger, ex-Barnsley target set to join League One rivals

BRIGHTON have reportedly made contact with Leeds United over the prospect of starting talks to sign Crysencio Summerville.

The future of the Dutchman has been the subject of much conjecture following United’s defeat in the Championship play-off final against Southampton at Wembley late last month.

Leeds still have £73.6m in transfer instalments to pay by June 30 and while there will be money coming in following the sales of Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra to Bournemouth, they must in the words of chairman Paraag Marathe find some further ‘trade offs’ due to stringent financial rules.
