De Jong out for months, Summerville draws Saudi and Roma interest

Frenkie de Jong out for months with serious knee injury

Awful news for Oranje. Frenkie de Jong is facing months on the sidelines after a serious knee injury, Barcelona fear (1) (2) (3). The 29-year-old midfielder picked up the knock recently and the outlook is grim. A long absence means De Jong will miss the start of the next international cycle, whenever that begins. Your midfield just lost its most technically secure operator.

Summerville wanted in Saudi Arabia, Roma circling too

Crysencio Summerville has options. Al-Hilal want the West Ham winger, with the Saudi club reportedly ready to reinvest Ajax-level money to get him (4). Al Hilal are not alone, AS Roma are also in the race for the Oranje international (5). Summerville, 22, made the move to West Ham but could now face a big decision this summer.

Fan reactions

Dutch fans online are gutted about De Jong. "Our midfield is hollow without him," one Reddit commenter wrote after the news broke. The Summerville links to Saudi Arabia have drawn mixed reactions, some seeing it as a step down, others pointing out the financial reality for a player yet to fully establish himself at West Ham.
