Crysencio Summerville: Electric winger born to entertain from Rotterdam to Riyadh | OneFootball

Crysencio Summerville has started brightly at Al Hilal, delivering two goals and three assists in seven Roshn Saudi League matches for the leaders.

According to spl.com.sa, the 24-year-old has settled quickly in Saudi Arabia after signing a four-year deal.

Born in Rotterdam in 2001, he came through Feyenoord, with loans at FC Dordrecht and ADO Den Haag honing his direct, fearless style.

A 2020 switch to Leeds United under Marcelo Bielsa accelerated his rise. The 2022-23 campaign brought a late winner at Anfield that ended Liverpool's long home league run.

Relegation took him to the Championship, where he hit 20 league goals and nine assists. He was named Player of the Year and made Team of the Season.

West Ham United signed him in August 2024. He scored in a 2-1 win over Manchester United before a hamstring injury in the FA Cup cut short a 22-game season.

He rebounded in 2025-26, scoring in five successive matches and ending with seven goals and five assists from 34. Across two campaigns at West Ham he registered eight from 56.

Internationally, he won the UEFA Under-17 Euros in 2018. At the 2026 FIFA World Cup he scored against Japan and Sweden as the Netherlands reached the Round of 16.

Now in Riyadh, his pace, balance and one-on-one threat make him dangerous on either flank or centrally. A solo strike at Al Khaleej earned BSF Goal of the Week and underlined his end product.
