We took a look at how much Crysencio Summeville is earning since making the move to the Premier League with West Ham
Leeds United were dealt a blow this summer when it was announced that Crysencio Summerville would depart for West Ham United, but the Dutchman hasn't enjoyed a great start to life in East London.
The 22-year-old has made just one start for Julen Lopetegui's side, coming in the EFL Cup, and he has played just 66 minutes of West Ham's four league games so far this season.
He's yet to start a Premier League game for the Hammers, which may be a concern for the ex-Leeds man, and he perhaps would have expected more regular football in the early weeks of his move to the English capital.
However, it's early days yet, and after forking out a reported fee in excess of £25million, the Hammers are likely to persist with Summerville as he showed what he's capable of at Elland Road last season, albeit in the Championship.
With that in mind, here is Summerville's estimated weekly wage at the London Stadium following his big money move from Leeds this summer.
It must be stressed that we are using Capology for this data, which means that it's an estimate rather than 100% factual, but it still gives us an excellent insight into estimated wages of players.
According to West Ham's Capology page, Summerville is earning an estimated weekly wage of £30,000, which works out as £1,560,000 a year.
Quite surprisingly, the Dutchman is way down the pecking order when it comes to the Hammers' highest earners, and his £30,000 weekly wage means he's the 19th highest earner at the London Stadium, earning £120,000 a week less than top earner Lucas Paqueta.
Summerville is sandwiched between the likes of Vladimir Coufal and Luis Guilherme in 19th place, and his wage may come as a surprise to a few people, given the fact that West Ham have six players earning £100,000 or more.
The Dutchman signed a five-year deal in East London, but if he impresses when given the chance, you can expect the club to offer him a new deal on improved terms, but of course, Summerville has to perform on the pitch first.
Summerville certainly wasn't one of Leeds' highest earners last season, and he was earning an estimated weekly wage of £15,000 a week, meaning he's doubled his money since moving to West Ham.
Summerville was actually earning £55,000 a week less than the Whites' top earner, Georginio Rutter last season, and he was actually ranked 21st in terms of the club's top earners.
Given his performances last season, this will certainly come as a surprise to the Elland Road faithful, but it's because he signed a contract in the summer of 2022, before becoming a regular starter.
Summerville joined the club from ADO Den Haag in the summer of 2020, initially for the club's U21 side, which meant he was on just £5,000 a week at Leeds before putting pen-to-paper on a new deal in 2022.
Given the fact he's doubled his money, you can see why the move to the Premier League with West Ham would have appealed to him, and Summerville will be looking for a regular place in Lopetegui's starting XI in the near future.
