Having picked up the Man of the Match award away at Everton and then completed his first 90 minutes for nine months against Arsenal last time out, in Nuno Espírito Santo’s first two games in charge, the 23-year-old is determined to play a key role in driving his team up the table over the coming weeks.
Summerville added: “It was the first big injury of my career last season, and it was hard. But I was happy with what happened against Nottingham Forest, because it helped show me that all the hard work was worth it, and made me feel like I was really back.
“Since then, I’ve stayed fit, and now I just want to keep improving and have a big impact in the rest of the season. It’s been nearly a year since I scored for the Club, so it would be great to get on the scoresheet soon, too.
“It’s been great working with him (Nuno) so far. He wants me to just do my thing, and be free in the final third while doing the basics well in defence. That’s what a winger wants to hear, and that’s what I’m trying to do. He understands my strengths, and he wants me to make the most of those, so that’s what I’ll be looking to do on Monday night!”
