Sources close to CaughtOffside now claim that the Merseysiders could quickly develop their interest in the Dutchman after an impressive World Cup.

The 24-year-old amassed four goal contributions in as many games before the Netherlands suffered a round of 32 exit at the hands of Morocco.

Will Liverpool sign Crysencio Summerville?

At a reported valuation of £50m, the Dutchman is hardly the worst option available on the market.

That said, it’s certainly a far cry from the talents Liverpool have been heavily linked with this window: Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande.

And as the window wages on, we may very well be forced to contemplate alternative options to ensure Andoni Iraola is not left short in the forward department.

As things currently stand, it’s believed that we’re only intent on adding one more winger to the squad.

Yankuba Minteh at Brighton is a preferable transfer

We don’t mind Summerville as a player, but the forward is afflicted with the same key concern around Barcola’s potential arrival at L4 – arguably to an even worse extent. The Dutch international is primarily a left-sided forward (though he does have significant experience playing on the opposite flank).

While there’s evidence of the player’s goalscoring capabilities to be found in his most recent season in English football, we’re not quite convinced that the West Ham star has what it takes to be an elite facilitator.

Not like, for instance, Brighton and Hove Albion’s Yankuba Minteh, who is known to be on Liverpool’s shortlist.

Yes, you’d have to expect that Summerville’s numbers would improve at a side possessing far greater quality overall than the Hammers’ relegated squad.

But the statistical evidence would heavily indicate that our attention would be better focused on the Seagulls’ promising 21-year-old right-sided winger.

Did we mention that the Gambian is also left-footed?
