Development

Al-Hilal £68m acceptance and medical reported

Al-Hilal are reported to have both sides of a Crysencio Summerville deal lined up. West Ham Zone says West Ham have accepted an offer of around £68 million and that the Saudi club have agreed a long-term contract with the winger. It also relays David Ornstein's report that a medical is due.

That echoes Knees up Mother Brown's accepted-bid report, but it does not resolve the contradiction. Fabrizio Romano, quoted by Claret&Hugh, said Al-Hilal's bid was still being processed and that Roma had agreed a fee with West Ham.

There is no completed transfer in the supplied reporting. The accounts still disagree over which club has an agreement with West Ham.
