West Ham are in advanced talks with Leeds United over the signing of winger Crysencio Summerville, reports Sky Sports.
The Hammers are now hopeful they can strike a deal for a player who has emerged as a priority target in the wide-forward position.
Summerville had a storming season for Leeds last time out, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists on his way to being crowned the Championship Player of the Season.
The Dutchman is understood to be keen on making the move to West Ham, with personal terms not expected to be an issue.
