Crysencio Summerville's contract contains a £40m release clause which has become active following West Ham's relegation. This clause would have been £70m had West Ham remained in the Premier League. The £40m must be paid upfront, or a buying club could negotiate to pay a higher fee over instalments. Fulham have monitored Summerville's situation. According to reports, he is seeking between £100k and £115k a week in wages.

According to Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg, Fulham are interested in signing 24-year-old West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville. Other clubs credited with an interest in the former Leeds United player are Spurs, Manchester United, and Chelsea, and it is believed West Ham values him at around £50 million. Steinberg reported in The Guardian that West Ham hopes selling players like Summerville will reduce any financial pressure to sell Jarrod Bowen.
