Leeds United’s star beats off his Elland Road teammate and full international to win Player of the Month.
Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United has been named PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Month for October, beating out competition from his Elland Road teammate and a slew of other promotion contenders.
The Whites’ winger has been named October’s Player of the Month for the second time after winning the SkyBet Championship title prior to the international break.
The Dutch winger finished October with five goals and three assists from five games.
No player has had a hand in more Championship goals than the Leeds forward, who has eight unique goal contributions throughout those five appearances. His 11 for the season is joint-highest with Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, who was also nominated for both accolades.
The 22-year-old was very productive in Leeds’ 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town, scoring twice and assisting twice in the first half at Elland Road on October 28.
“Summerville has won the award for the first time, defeating Leeds teammate Dan James, as well as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Leif Davis, Perry Ng, and Seny Dieng,” a PFA statement read on Monday afternoon.
Summerville remarked of his first victory, “I feel good, it’s a boost for me and the team.”
“I hope I can keep going now and let the people and team enjoy it, I want to help the team even more.”
At the same time, Farke said: “It’s well deserved, not just because of his goals, assists and really good performances, but also because of the workload and the shift he’s put in.”
