Summerville reportedly refused Tottenham talks before Al-Hilal move

Crysencio Summerville reportedly turned down the chance to discuss a move to Tottenham before completing his transfer to Al-Hilal.

The Athletic, as cited by West Ham World, is said to have reported Spurs' interest. West Ham World claims Summerville refused to speak to them because he did not want to damage his relationship with West Ham supporters by joining a rival.

Summerville's move to Al-Hilal is official. The Tottenham approach and his reported reason for rejecting it are not.
