Tottenham Hotspur are making a concrete offer to sign West Ham United star Crysencio Summerville this summer, according to news outlet VI.
Spurs avoided relegation at the expense of Summerville and the Hammers on the final day of the season, claiming a 1-0 win over Everton in the Premier League, and now Roberto De Zerbi is looking to strengthen his squad to ensure they're not in that situation again.
The club are keen to bolster their attacking options after scoring just 48 goals in their 38 Premier League games, and the east London club have been targeted as a result of their drop down into the second tier.

Summerville, who has been described as 'electric', enjoyed a fine campaign for the Hammers despite their relegation, and his form is understood to have alerted several clubs to his availability following relegation.
Tottenham showed an interest in the Dutch winger during the January window but were told he was not available, with both clubs battling against the drop, but now they are ready to return and resurrect their interest by making a concrete offer, according to journalist Joost Blaauwhof, via Sport Witness.
Summerville has been called up to the Netherlands squad for the World Cup and is not expected to make a decision on his future before then. However, it is noted that he is 'dreaming of a big transfer' this summer.
Serie A giants Roma are also targeting the 24-year-old winger in the upcoming window, with Gian Piero Gasperini making him his number one target to strengthen their attack. Roma qualified for the Champions League too, which could give them an edge in negotiations, although Spurs will make a play to convince him to stay in London.
It's unclear how much West Ham would demand to let Summerville leave, but having signed him for £25m last summer, it's likely to be around that figure once again.
Summerville a Perfect Tottenham Signing

Tottenham know that they need to find new attacking options that can improve them, and Summerville certainly ticks that box.
The club are also understood to be keen on a move for Man City star Savinho, showing that they mean business, and they have already agreed free transfer moves for both Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi. De Zerbi wants players in early, and the club are backing him.
Summerville is someone who can come in and immediately make an impact, while also knowing that he must be patient to earn his place. De Zerbi wants direct players who can disorganise defences, and there aren't many better in the Premier League at that price, so this deal feels like a no-brainer.
