Crysencio Summerville signs four‑year €70 million deal with Saudi club Al Hilal
Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville has moved from West Ham United to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal on a four‑year contract that runs until 2030. The transfer fee is reported between €60 million and €70 million (approximately £55‑£65 million), making it one of West Ham’s biggest sales and providing the relegated club with a significant financial boost.
Summerville’s contract reportedly includes a net salary of about €17 million per season, or roughly £15 million a year, and he will be a key part of Al Hilal’s project to reclaim the Saudi league title and pursue Asian competition success. The 24‑year‑old impressed at the 2026 World Cup, scoring two goals and providing two assists for the Netherlands, and he made 56 appearances with eight goals for West Ham during his two‑season spell.
The move underscores the growing financial pull of the Saudi league, as clubs like Al Hilal invest heavily to attract European talent.
