Leeds fullback Shackleton: Summerville a nightmare

Leeds right-back Jamie Shackleton is full of praise for teammate Crysencio Summerville.

Summerville has enjoyed an excellent September at Leeds as he made both his Premier League debut and first start for the club in the Carabao Cup penalty shootout win at Fulham.

The 19-year-old has regularly shone in the club's Under-23s side since his move from Feyenoord last summer and Shackleton was full of praise for the Dutchman in a recent interview.

Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, he said: “Coming up against top-class forwards and wingers that we have inside the club definitely helps.

“Cry Summerville, is a nightmare to mark. He's really sharp. For his size he's very, very strong. I do my best to keep up with him and the other wingers. We've got some very sharp wingers at the club."
