Crysencio Summerville played a key role for West Ham United in their 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Summerville scored West Ham’s opening goal and he was a constant menace to the Tottenham defenders throughout the entire match.

It was a clear message that he and his teammates are very much behind the Hammers manager.

If you could only keep ONE of these two players in January – who would it be?!

Summerville has actually been linked with a West Ham exit recently, with Galatasaray said to be keen to sign the winger in the January transfer window.

However, it’s very clear to see that the 24-year-old will not be going anywhere this month.

The former Leeds United forward could well keep the Hammers in the Premier League if he keeps performing like he has been over the past few weeks.

West Ham fans will love what Crysencio Summerville said about Tottenham

Summerville’s electric pace and incredible dribbling skills caused the Tottenham defenders endless problems on Saturday.

It wasn’t just those qualities that the Hammers fans loved, though.

The Dutchman displayed real passion and desire to do whatever he could for the crest on his shirt.

When speaking to the club’s official website, Summerville revealed how he is a ‘real Hammer now’, after the win over Spurs.

“Obviously it being a rivalry makes the win even sweeter,“ Summerville explained.

“I didn’t really know about the rivalry when I signed, but the staff and everyone at the Club told me, and I took it under my skin. I’m a real Hammer now, so I’m happy we were able to get the three points.“

How nice is that to hear?

Summerville is clearly a Hammer through and through and what’s more, he is fully aware of the club’s rivalry with Tottenham now.

The West Ham fans can’t ask for more than that from one of their foreign imports.

Crysencio Summerville’s time to shine for West Ham

Nuno will now be hoping that Summerville manages to maintain his current levels for the remainder of the season.

The ex-Leeds star is more than good enough to rack up five goals and five assists between now and May as an absolute bare minimum.

Who will prove to be a better signing and why?! 🤔

His pace and explosive acceleration offer the Hammers something completely different inside the final third.

And his tight ball control and dribbling skills provide West Ham with that extra edge in attack.

Now the Hammers just need at least one of their strikers to start scoring regularly, and they’ll be just fine.

Summerville’s performance against Tottenham on Saturday was one of the best we have seen from him in a West Ham shirt.

Hopefully there is plenty more to come from him this season and beyond.
