Aston Villa ‘have an eye on’ Crysencio Summerville as Hull ‘agree’ Targett deal | OneFootball

Leeds United’s top-flight rivals are pushing ahead with transfers, with Aston Villa interested in former Elland Road winger Crysencio Summerville and newly-promoted Hull City active in the market.

Leeds return this weekend against Wrexham in Tampa, a 12.30am Sunday UK time kick-off, which could offer a first look at Harry Wilson. A debut for Tarik Muharemovic might come later after his World Cup duties with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and another addition could yet join Daniel Farke’s squad in the US.

Fabrizio Romano reports Villa have an eye on Summerville, who is expected to leave West Ham after relegation, with interest following Morgan Rogers’ imminent British-record £117m move to Chelsea.

Interest has intensified since the Netherlands’ World Cup exit, with Manchester United keen but AS Roma thought to be leading the way. Reports say Roma had a €46m (£39m) bid rejected by West Ham, and the player is understood to be open to a move.

According to Hull Live, Hull have agreed a deal to sign experienced full-back Matt Targett after his Newcastle contract expired earlier this summer. The Athletic adds that a move for Aston Villa and Jamaica winger Leon Bailey is being eyed.

What that might mean for 15-goal loanee Joe Gelhardt remains unclear, with the forward believed to be open to a permanent return. Leeds are expected to cash in on the 24-year-old after his impressive 2025/26 campaign.

Ben Jacobs reports Ipswich Town have verbally agreed a £20m fee with Leicester City for Abdul Fatawu, with medical tests expected this week. Leicester were relegated to League One last season after a six-point PSR deduction, and Leeds have decided to take legal action regarding that breach.
