Aston Villa are considering a move for West Ham star Crysencio Summerville, talkSPORT understands.
Italian side Roma have tabled an offer worth around £40million for the 24-year-old.
talkSPORT recently told you how the Italian side are battling Manchester United and Tottenham for the Netherlands international’s signature.
And now Villa have identified the winger as a possible replacement for Morgan Rogers.
Rogers is set to join Chelsea in a £117m deal – a record fee for a British player.
The England international is set to undergo his Blues medical on Monday, before penning a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with the option of a further year.
Summerville is set to depart the London Stadium following the club’s relegation into the Championship.
And he has a release clause in his contract allowing him to leave as result of the Hammers’ drop into England’s second-tier.
Summer lovin’
The former Leeds forward proved to a bright spark in an otherwise disappointing season for West Ham – firing in seven goals from 34 games in all competitions.
And his stock has risen as a result of his dazzling displays at the World Cup in North America.
The 24-year-old chipped in with two goals and as many assists as Holland reached the round of 32 – where they lost to Morocco on penalties.
Who could Summerville join this summer?
It was only earlier this month that talkSPORT told you how United had opened talks to sign Summerville.
