Dutch legend Willem van Hanegem insists Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman should 'keep an eye' on Crysencio Summerville.
Summerville has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Elland Road and scored in four consecutive league matches before the World Cup, including the winning goals against Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth respectively. Although 21-year-old has not scored since November, Van Hanegem, who won the European Cup at Feyenoord in 1971, believes Summerville can offer the Netherlands national team something completely different.
"You can still think of Jerdy Schouten who is doing really well in Serie A and if I worked in Zeist, I would also keep an eye on Cryscensio Summerville," van Hanegem wrote in his Algemeen Dagblad column. "He's gotten so much better there at Leeds United and he has something that isn't really in the squad yet: speed, agility, the ability to play a man out."

The 21-year-old joined Leeds' academy from Feyenoord in September 2020 after loan spells at FC Dordrecht and ADO Den Haag.
Summerville has represented the Netherlands for various age groups on 32 occasions, and scored six goals in five caps during his stint with the under-19s.
He also lifted the 2018 Under-17 European Championship - scoring in a 3-0 win over Germany in the group stage, and coming off the bench in the final as Holland defeated Italy on penalties in Rotherham.
The winger has never received a senior international call-up and wasn't included in Koeman's provisional squad to face France and Gibraltar in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.
