“Leeds United are not likely to be willing to do a deal cheaply, given their push for promotion this season, but a big fee could force Daniel Farke’s men into making a decision,” they wrote.

“Unlike signings from overseas, Summerville should be able to return to the Premier League and hit the ground running, having played 28 times in the league last season. Villa’s current position should also attract the player should they make a move, and they may need him to help convince Leeds to sell if they make an approach.

“To complete a deal, Villa may need to pay a fee of around £25-30million, the same amount that Tottenham paid Leicester City for James Maddison in the summer. While Summerville hasn’t proven himself for as long in the league he had two-and-a-half years remaining on his deal which puts Leeds in a strong position.”
