Crysencio Summerville has revealed he felt duty-bound to look after Georginio Rutter and Willy Gnonto when they arrived at Leeds United thanks to the example set by now-departed stars.
The Dutchman has emerged as a key part of Daniel Farke's first team three years after his arrival at the club from Feyenoord, scoring six goals and adding four assists in 12 Championship appearances so far this season. Summerville had to bide his time at the start, playing for the Under 21s initially and not making a Premier League debut until he had spent a calendar year at Elland Road.
'To every young player, what I can say is, you have to enjoy every minute when you step on the pitch,' he said. 'I think I'm enjoying this year more, I want to return back with Leeds United to the Premier League, it's about fighting for every ball and every point.' Alongside Summerville in Leeds' attacking front four is another newly-found fan favourite in Rutter, whose dribbling ability and consistent chance-creation have plagued defences in the second tier.
