"Standard Sport understands that Summerville’s representatives have been approached by Man Utd regarding the terms of a potential deal," reads the article.
"However, any conversations have been exploratory, with no club-to-club talks taking place, and United assessing a number of options as they look to bring in a new winger this summer.
"West Ham are under pressure to sell players this summer, even after sanctioning the departure of midfielder Mateus Fernandes to rivals Tottenham for a fee in the region of £85 million.
"With Summerville expected to leave, and captain Jarrod Bowen also attracting top-flight interest, West Ham have already begun to sound out potential wide replacements."
Tuchel safe even with Mexico loss
Thomas Tuchel will not be sacked by England, even if they lose to Mexico in Sunday's last-16 2026 FIFA World Cup tie, according to The Telegraph. The Three Lions are facing the daunting prospect of playing the co-hosts at the Azteca after seeing off DR Congo.
Tuchel extended his contract just before the World Cup, which should see him in charge until Euro 2028. However, his deal contains performance clauses, which would allow the Football Association to sack him without having to pay major compensation should certain objectives not be met.
According to The Telegraph, Tuchel would almost certainly have lost his job had England lost to DR Congo, but he should now be safe from the sack, no matter what happens in Mexico City.
The difficulty of the draw will be taken into account when reviewing his performance at the end of the tournament, but, barring a disastrous result, the plan is to keep him in the hot seat.
England would face the winner of Brazil or Norway in the quarter-final, should they win in Mexico City.

The article reads: "Trevoh Chalobah’s agents have landed in Italy to hold talks over the 26-year-old’s future. Chalobah, who is currently across the Atlantic at the World Cup with England, is reportedly keen on a move to Serie A this summer.
"The centre-back, who played 34 times for Chelsea in the Premier League last season, is the subject of interest from both Inter Milan and Cesc Fabregas’ Como in the Italian top-flight.
"Fabrizio Romano has reported that Chalobah’s agents will hold talks with both clubs, following rumours that Chelsea have already rejected an opening offer from Como of around £23m.
"Talks with Inter Milan are ongoing over personal terms, but Cristian Chivu’s side have not yet tabled a formal offer to the west London club. Romano claims that Chalobah is a long-standing target of Inter Milan director Piero Ausilio, and the defender is keen to play in Serie A in 2026/27."
Man Utd want in-demand Darlow
Manchester United is one of a trio of Premier League clubs interested in goalkeeper Karl Darlow, who is a free agent.
Leeds United want to keep the 35-year-old, but he is also wanted by The Red Devils and Everton, claims the Mail.
Darlow's contract at Leeds expired after an impressive campaign, finishing as first choice after dislodging Lucas Perri as No. 1.

The outlet states: "Goalkeeper Karl Darlow has offers from Everton, Manchester United and Leeds United as he contemplates his next step.
"Darlow made 24 appearances last season, and also had talks with Tottenham prior to them signing Martin Dubravka.
"Leeds are pushing to renew terms as they want him to stay, though that will raise further doubts about Perri's future, while Illan Meslier is also out of contract and hoping to sign for Arsenal."
