Crysencio Summerville has completed a transfer from West Ham United to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, with the deal reportedly valued between £55 million and £60 million. The Netherlands international forward finalized the move on July 24, signing a four-year contract with the Saudi side.

Summerville, 24, joined West Ham in 2024 from Leeds United for an initial fee of around £25 million. Over his two seasons at the London club, he scored eight goals in 56 appearances. The forward also featured for the Netherlands in the recent World Cup, enhancing his profile on the international stage.

Financial terms of the contract include a weekly salary reported at approximately £230,000, equating to around £12 million annually. West Ham issued a statement expressing gratitude for Summerville’s contributions and wishing him success in his new venture.

Summerville’s departure follows another significant transfer involving West Ham this month. Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes, 22, moved to Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record transfer reported to be worth £85 million, marking one of the highest fees received by West Ham.

The move to Al Hilal is part of a broader trend of high-profile players joining Saudi clubs, reflecting increased investment in the region’s football leagues. The transfer figures underline the growing financial power of Saudi football, attracting talent from European leagues.

West Ham’s recent sales highlight the club’s strategy in the transfer market amid a changing landscape, balancing player departures with new acquisitions to maintain competitiveness. Meanwhile, Summerville will now look to establish himself in the Saudi Pro League and contribute to Al Hilal’s ambitions domestically and internationally.
