- Summerville has scored 7 goals and 2 assists this season for West Ham United.
- 24-year-old Dutchman has shone for the Hammers in the second half of this season.
- Everton may consider a bid if West Ham drop into the Championship .
Everton are planning for a busy summer transfer window. David Moyes’ side are pushing for European qualification with just seven games remaining, and the Blues are sit just three points off the Champions League places.
They are expected to bolster their squad with a right-back, centre-back and a forward, likely prioritised. Everton will look to build a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts next season.
One player who has emerged on their radar is West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville. The 24-year-old Dutchman has been in outstanding form since the turn of the year, and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
Nolan: Summerville has been ‘Incredible’
Former West Ham captain Kevin Nolan has been blown away by Summerville’s recent displays. Speaking on talkSPORT, Nolan did not hold back in his praise for the winger.
“Incredible in this run in, and Bowen on the other side,” Nolan said. “A lot of them have stepped up to the plate, they’re playing in a system now that suits the players and the people who they’ve got in the building.”
Summerville’s form has been a major factor in West Ham’s fight against relegation. After producing just one assist in the first half of the season with no goals, the Dutchman has scored five Premier League goals in 2026 so far. Four of those came in consecutive games that resulted in three victories for the Hammers.
West Ham failed to win their last two league games while Summerville was sidelined through injury.
Why Summerville fits Everton’s plans
Summerville’s transformation has been remarkable. At Leeds United, he was known as a tricky, goalscoring winger. That version of the player has re-emerged in 2026.
His heatmap shows he is spending less time coming into central areas and operating more from the left flank, where he is being given more touches and freedom to create.
The 24-year-old is now producing 3.01 crosses per 90 compared to 0.93 in 2025. With West Ham adding more presence in the penalty area in January, Summerville has more targets to aim for, and the results are showing.
If West Ham are relegated this season, a host of Premier League clubs are expected to circle for a bargain. Summerville, at 24, is entering his peak years and has already proven he can deliver in the top flight.
Everton’s interest makes sense. Jack Grealish is expected to return to Manchester City at the end of his loan if a deal can’t be made, leaving a vacancy on the left flank.
Dwight McNeil has rediscovered his form, but competition and depth will be essential if European football is secured.
Summerville has shown he can handle the pressure of a relegation battle. At Everton, he would be joining a club on the rise, with Moyes building something better.
For a player who has grabbed the bull by the horns when his side needed him most, the move to Hill Dickinson Stadium could be the next big step.
