Summerville Completes £65m Move to Al Hilal from West Ham

July 23, 2026 — Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville has finalised a high-profile transfer to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The 24-year-old has given the green light to the move after a dramatic 48-hour tug-of-war that saw Serie A side AS Roma push hard until the final moments. Summerville has now been authorised for medical examinations in Saudi Arabia.

West Ham United will receive a £55 million base fee plus up to £10 million in performance-related add-ons, marking a substantial return on their investment in the former Leeds United star. Summerville impressed during his time at the London club following his 2024 arrival.

The deal highlights the continued financial power of Saudi clubs in attracting young European talent. Al Hilal, already boasting a star-studded squad, strengthens its attacking options with the versatile, pacey winger known for his dribbling and goal-scoring threat.

For West Ham, the sale provides significant funds for squad rebuilding. Summerville becomes one of the latest high-profile players to swap European leagues for the growing Saudi competition, joining a trend that has reshaped global football economics in recent years.Fans and analysts will watch closely to see how the Dutch international adapts to life in the Middle East.
