Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace face a challenging season ahead after losing one of their key players, Michael Olise, to Bayern Munich this summer. Palace, who finished tenth in the Premier League last season, are looking to strengthen their squad to maintain their top-half position. They have already made signings like Chadi Riad and Daichi Kamada, but are still searching for a wide player to replace Olise’s contributions.

One of the potential replacements being considered is Marseille winger Ismaila Sarr, who has previous Premier League experience with Watford. However, another strong candidate is Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville, the Championship Player of the Year, who has also attracted interest from Newcastle and Aston Villa. According to reports from the Mirror, Summerville is available for around £40 million, potentially sparking a bidding war among the interested clubs.

Summerville made 49 appearances for Leeds last season, scoring 21 goals and providing ten assists. In comparison to Sarr, Summerville is considered closer to Olise in terms of creativity. He has similar metrics in progressive passes and key passes per 90 minutes, making him a better fit to replace Olise’s creative output.

However, there is a positional consideration. Summerville typically plays on the left, while Sarr and Olise are right-sided players. This positional difference could impact the decision on who would be the best replacement for Olise at Crystal Palace.
