Tottenham lead six-way Premier League chase to sign Wilson Odobert competition from relegation rivals

Tottenham Hotspur now lead a six-way Premier League chase for West Ham United’s Crysencio Summerville, who could replace injured Wilson Odobert.

Tottenham Hotspur have looked devoid of creativity out wide for most of this season, largely due to the availability of their wide forwards.

Mohammed Kudus has been sidelined for a significant 97 days and has missed 16 games in that period, although a return before the Sunderland clash is not off the table.

Wilson Odobert is also sidelined and is not expected to feature again until next season after suffering an ACL injury in the clash against Newcastle United.

This marks the second time in his Tottenham career that he will be sidelined for months following a serious injury.

Tottenham transfer interest in Crysencio Summerville

TeamTalk is now reporting that Tottenham Hotspur are leading a six-way Premier League chase for in-form West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville.

The Dutch international has hit form at the right time for the Hammers, who are also embroiled in a relegation scrap alongside Spurs.

However, while Tottenham have struggled for creativity on both flanks, Summerville has managed eight goal contributions this season, playing a vital role in his side’s fight to beat the drop.

Spurs are said to have shown interest in Summerville during the winter transfer window, but no deal materialised at the time.

The Lilywhites could now reignite that interest in the summer, especially if West Ham fail to avoid relegation.

Tottenham are not the only club in the race for the Dutchman. Within the Premier League, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford and Everton have all been monitoring the former Championship Player of the Season.

Meanwhile, on the continent, Marseille, Napoli, Atalanta and Villarreal are said to be keeping a close eye on developments, with some having shown genuine intent to test West Ham’s resolve.

The wide forward would no doubt be a strong addition to Spurs’ ranks, given his versatility and ability to operate across the frontline as well as in attacking midfield.

However, the player’s injury history could be a concern if he is to arrive and compete with Wilson Odobert.

While Summerville has not picked up any major injuries this term that have kept him out for more than three games, his previous issues have at times been longer.
