Victor Orta will now move for a new Leeds signing today on one condition - journalist

Leeds United will look to sign a new wide player if Crysencio Summerville leaves on loan on deadline day, according to reliable journalist David Ornstein.

The Whites have had a quiet January transfer window overall, with money hard to come by and no major outgoings taking place.

One player who has been linked with a loan move from Elland Road is Summerville, however, having been limited to just five cameo appearances in the Premier League this season.

It now looks as though the 20-year-old could play a key role on deadline day, in terms of a potential Leeds signing.

According to The Athletic‘s Ornstein, the Whites will aim to sign a last-minute replacement for Summerville, should he seal temporary move away:

In truth, there are positives to be found whatever happens with Summerville.

If the youngster moves on, it will allow him the chance to earn regular football at a good standard, hopefully meaning he returns a more rounded player in the summer.

Meanwhile, Victor Orta may then be able to lift the mood both at Thorp Arch and amongst the fans with a new signing on deadline day.

On the flip side, Summerville could continue to play a bit-part role at Leeds if he stays, chipping in from the substitutes’ bench and continuing to learn from the likes of Raphinha and Jack Harrison.
