Crysencio Summerville has already been linked with a West Ham exit this season.
The Dutchman has recently taken a massive step up in his performance levels at the London Stadium.
In 2026, the 24-year-old has netted six goals and has helped the Irons to five wins across the FA Cup and Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo.
There is hope that the forward can continue his form and help inspire the Hammers to avoid relegation with just 11 league games remaining.
Unfortunately, an East London departure could already be on the cards for Summerville moving into the summer window, regardless of league status.

West Ham may already have Crysencio Summerville alternative
There was plenty of interest in the former Leeds United man in the winter, but the Irons managed to keep hold of him for the rest of the campaign.
Roma were linked with a move for the Dutchman, and despite not getting their target in January, could return to try and sign him at the end of the season.
A move for the Dutchman may be given the green light by Nuno and Co. if they can get their hands on a replacement in the summer.

The Morocco international could be available for £35million in the summer after a hugely positive campaign in LaLiga.
A deal for the ex-Barcelona man hinges on West Ham’s league status, but Summerville could be on his way no matter what.
Could Ez Abde replace Summerville in the summer?
The current West Ham star features off the left in claret and blue and wants to cut in onto his right foot to get a shot away.
That is echoed by Abde, who is also known for the same ability, while being famed for his quick feet and dribbling technique at Betis.
Ez Abde strengths:
Dribbling
Gets fouled often
Likes to cut inside
Crysencio Summerville strengths

If he could replicate that in the Premier League, there is no doubt that he could be an ideal alternative for Summerville moving forward.
If the Dutchman wants to go, it could be a perfect opportunity for all parties to push a deal over the line.
