Summerville wanted by Roma and United as de Jong faces months out

Roma pushing hard for Summerville

Crysencio Summerville could be on the move. Roma are readying a €45m bid for the Netherlands international, with a meeting scheduled Thursday to push the deal forward (3). West Ham are the club holding his contract, and Roma are not the only ones watching.

United see Summerville as Rashford replacement

Manchester United have their own plans. They would target Summerville at around £30m if Marcus Rashford leaves this summer (2). That puts the 22-year-old at the center of two major transfer dominoes, Rashford's future at Old Trafford and Roma's aggressive push.

Barcelona furious over de Jong injury

The fallout from the World Cup is getting ugly. Barcelona are reportedly furious with Ronald Koeman and the Oranje medical staff over how Frenkie de Jong's knee injury was handled (4). The fear is up to four months out. That is a brutal blow for your midfield.

Ten Hag: 'Maybe in two years'

Erik ten Hag has left the door ajar for the Netherlands job. Asked again about the vacant post, he said: "Misschien over twee jaar", maybe in two years (5). The KNVB still has no permanent successor to Koeman, and Ten Hag's timeline suggests he sees the role in his future, just not right now.

Drenthe recovering, Elia giving support

Eljero Elia has shared a painful update on Royston Drenthe, the former Oranje international who suffered a stroke. "He's locked inside his own body. His left arm is still paralyzed. His speech is gone. But he's fighting," Elia said (6) (7). Small steps forward, but a long road ahead.
