Summerville announcement reported imminent after Al-Hilal medical

Crysencio Summerville has chosen Al-Hilal and his West Ham exit is expected to be announced within 24 hours, according to Knees up Mother Brown. The outlet also reports that he completed a medical in the Netherlands on Tuesday, attributing that detail to David Ornstein.

Knees up Mother Brown puts Al-Hilal's offer at about £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons and says Summerville was offered £16 million a year. It says Roma made a late attempt to revive their deal after offering €45 million, but the winger opted for Saudi Arabia.

Al-Hilal are the destination in this account, but the move is not established as complete. No club or registration source confirms it.
