Al Hilal Secures Samerville Signing

Al Hilal has successfully secured the signing of Dutch winger Cresencio Summerville after reaching an agreement with West Ham United for £55 million plus £5 million in potential add-ons. The total deal could rise to £70 million.

According to trusted journalist David Ornstein, the player is scheduled to undergo a medical check before signing a long-term contract and the official announcement of the deal.

AS Roma was the frontrunner to secure the player's services in recent days, having reached a personal agreement for a contract extending until the summer of 2031. They also increased their offer to nearly £42 million, but the substantial financial proposal from Al Hilal completely altered the course of negotiations.

Samerville, 24, is regarded as one of the top attacking wingers in Europe, attracting interest from several clubs, including Manchester United and Aston Villa, before Al Hilal managed to outshine all competitors and convince West Ham to complete the deal.

As final procedures are awaited, Al Hilal will continue to strengthen its squad with a new attacking signing in preparation for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Roma has suffered a significant blow after losing one of its key targets in the transfer market to the Saudi club.
