PSG contact West Ham to sign Summerville and Fernandes | OneFootball

West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville is attracting summer transfer interest, and his future lies away from the London Stadium.

According to Foot Mercato, Paris Saint-Germain have contacted West Ham about signing him and also approached his representatives to understand the terms of a transfer.

The Parisians are preparing for an attacking reshuffle, with Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola set to leave.

Summerville was one of the few bright spots for West Ham this season, bagging seven goals and five assists in 34 appearances.

However, with the Hammers dropping down to the Championship, the 24-year-old is poised to leave in search of a new stomping ground after the World Cup.

The French giants are also after Mateus Fernandes, but recognise the difficulty in signing him with Real Madrid and several Premier League clubs chasing him.

It remains unclear where either man will end up at this point, but they may not need to sell other key players if they sell them. The bigger concern is what happens after the money arrives.

West Ham need a smarter transfer strategy

The Hammers have generated substantial transfer income in recent years, but too many expensive signings have failed to deliver the required impact.

With the sporting structure currently looking fragmented and uncertain, there is little room for error.

Relegation has increased the pressure on decision-makers to identify the right targets, build a balanced squad and establish a clear footballing vision.

West Ham have a relatively sizeable transfer war chest, but a large budget guarantees nothing without a coherent recruitment strategy.

Smart recruitment, strong leadership and long-term planning matter. West Ham cannot afford another scattergun approach in the market.

If they genuinely want to return to the Premier League at the first attempt, every major decision over the coming months must be right.

The money will likely be there. The challenge is proving they can spend it wisely.
