Al-Hilal reportedly open Summerville talks

Al-Hilal’s reported talks with Crysencio Summerville’s representatives now have a named source, but they still stop short of a bid to West Ham.

Sacha Tavolieri, as cited by West Ham Zone, says the Saudi club have begun discussions with Summerville’s camp and that West Ham have been informed of their interest. Tavolieri also says Roma remain interested, with their position described as “wait and see”.

West Ham Zone expects Summerville to leave and lists several previously linked clubs, but supplies no transfer agreement or evidence of completion. Representative talks are reported. A deal is not.
