Summerville reportedly signs Al-Hilal contract

Crysencio Summerville has reportedly signed a long-term contract with Al-Hilal. The Saudi move now has a signed-terms claim behind it, but still no official or registration confirmation.

Sacha Tavolieri, as reported by West Ham Zone, says the winger signed on Thursday evening and will travel immediately to Al-Hilal’s training camp in Austria, where he is expected within 48 hours. West Ham Zone puts the initial fee at around £55m and says Fabrizio Romano had already given the move his ‘here we go’.

That is a reported player contract and club agreement, not confirmation from West Ham, Al-Hilal or a registration source. After the detour through Roma and several competing fee claims, Summerville is pointed firmly towards Saudi Arabia. The move is still not established as complete.
