Crysencio Summerville is expected to leave West Ham following their relegation to the Championship, with Arsenal now joining the race to sign the Dutch attacker this summer. According to Foot Mercato, the Gunners have entered the competition for his signature alongside several other interested clubs.

Manchester United are reportedly leading the pursuit of Summerville, but Arsenal are also determined to strengthen their attacking options before the start of next season. The Gunners are searching for a new left winger after disappointing performances in that position during the previous campaign.

Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli both struggled to make the desired impact, and Arsenal are now expected to consider offers for the pair at the end of the season. While the club remain keen to secure suitable transfer fees for both players, replacing them with stronger options is viewed as an even greater priority.

Summerville enjoyed an impressive season and has continued his strong form with the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup. His performances during the tournament are believed to have increased interest in his services, with several clubs continuing to monitor his situation closely.

Arsenal are understood to have been impressed by the attacker’s recent displays and now view him as a player capable of improving their squad. The club are eager to complete key additions early in the transfer window as they prepare for another demanding campaign.

Manchester United remain firmly interested in securing Summerville’s signature, while other clubs are also expected to enter the race in the coming weeks. Arsenal are aware that competition could intensify quickly and are hoping to move decisively if an opportunity arises.

The attacker is expected to decide on his next club soon, with his future likely to become clearer after the World Cup. Arsenal would reportedly be delighted if Summerville chooses them as the next destination in his career, as the Gunners continue shaping their squad ahead of the new season.

Wyndham Clark is one of the only players in the history of the game to lose a full stroke to the field during the final round of a major and still emerge victorious.

Clark made hard work of Sunday at Shinnecock Hills. He had gone into the last day with a six-shot lead over the chasing pack.

He was helped by playing partner Scottie Scheffler failing to get anything going all day. But Scheffler’s good friend Sam Burns was there to push Clark all the way.

Clark certainly did not help himself at times. The 32-year-old made five bogeys during the final round, while he did not make his first birdie of the day until the 10th hole.

Thankfully for Clark, he was able to make the lengthy two-putt he needed on the 72nd hole to ensure that he held on by just one shot.

It is Clark’s second major title following the 2023 US Open at LACC. But he also made some history with his performance in Southampton.

As noted by Rick Gehman on X, Clark became only the fourth player to lose at least one stroke to the field in the last round and win a major.

He lost 1.61 shots on Sunday.

In fairness to Clark, he was still some way off matching the struggles of Vijay Singh at the 2004 PGA Championship, when the Fijian lost 2.23 strokes to the field.

Tom Lehman lost 1.43 shots in the final round of The Open Championship 30 years ago, while Raymond Floyd was the first player to achieve the unfortunate feat, at the 1969 PGA Championship.

Clark would have dreamt of taking all the potential drama out of the occasion when he prepared to head to the first tee on Sunday.

But in many ways, that victory was all the more impressive considering that it could have so easily been a very different result at Shinnecock.

She’s captivated gymnastics audiences nationally and internationally, from the U.S. Olympic Trials to the NCAA Gymnastics Championships. Now, 18-year-old Tiana Sumanasekera is ready to honor her heritage.

The 2024 U.S. Olympic alternate announced her decision to change her nationality with the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) on Sunday, opting to represent Sri Lanka, her parents’ native country, instead of the United States.

Sumanasekera has been a staple on the U.S. Women’s National Team since 2021, collecting multiple Pan American titles and finishing third on balance beam at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials.

With her early international successes, she became the first gymnast of Sri Lankan descent to represent the United States on the world stage. Later in her elite career, she moved to the World Champions Centre in Spring, Texas, where she trained alongside Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles in the lead-up to the Paris Games.

In 2025, Sumanasekera joined the UCLA Bruins women’s gymnastics team, where she helped the Bruins to the 2026 Big Ten Championship title and a fifth-place finish at the 2026 NCAA Gymnastics Championships.

Although the Pleasanton, California, native came up just short of making the competitive team in Paris, Sumanasekera eyes an opportunity to represent her family’s culture in her home state two years from now.

“My heart will always be proud to belong to both countries,” she shared in a social media post. “I could not be more proud and excited for this special opportunity. Competing at the Olympics would be an absolute dream come true, and having the chance to honor my heritage by doing it for a country I hold so close to my heart makes it that much more special.”

The decision echoes Sumanasekera’s longstanding dedication to her cultural expression, which she often portrays through her intricate, self-choreographed floor routines. Her most recent floor routine for UCLA generated significant media buzz for its dynamic Bollywood theme.

In addition to her personal connection to the country, Sumanasekera expressed a desire to amplify gymnastics in Sri Lanka.

“Gymnastics is so underrepresented in Sri Lanka and South Asia as a whole, so I am beyond honored to help bring representation to such a beautiful and diverse part of the world,” the gymnast wrote.

Sri Lankan gymnastics first made waves at the Tokyo Olympics, when 23-year-old Milka Gehani became the first Sri Lankan gymnast to compete at the Games. With ten active Sri Lankan athletes, Sumanasekera’s inclusion on the women’s national team should significantly bolster the nation’s program. At full strength, she could easily contend for World or Olympic balance beam and floor exercise finals.

The decision follows a recent trend of U.S. gymnasts switching nationalities to represent ancestral ties. In 2024, three former U.S. elite gymnasts made history by representing the Philippines at the Paris Olympic Games. At June’s Pan American Championships, University of Michigan gymnasts Jahzara Ranger and Sophia Diaz competed for Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, respectively.

While Sumanasekera did not specify the date of her competitive debut for Sri Lanka, the elite competitive calendar is rapidly intensifying ahead of October’s World Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Should Sumanasekera hope to compete in Rotterdam, she will need to qualify through a continental championship or through the FIG World Cup individual route. With the Asian Championships beginning on June 25 and the FIG World Cup route already underway, the window for the 2026 Worlds is likely closed.

While she is now eligible to compete for Sri Lanka at July’s Commonwealth Games, her path to LA 2028 begins squarely in 2027.

GRANVILLE- Nearly 1,000 swimmers jumped into the pool this weekend at the Trumbull Aquatic Center on the campus of Denison University and competed for a good cause.

Pau Hana swim, headed by coach Teresa Fightmaster, hosted its annual Jill Griesse Memorial. Those swimmers represented 26 teams from central Ohio and beyond.

Those competing included Licking County rising stars - Newark’s Eliana Roberts for host Pau Hana, Granville’s Lily Hyslop for Greater Columbus and Watkins Memorial’s Avery Bowman for Hydra Aquatics - and graduates ready to take the next step to the college level - Granville’s Nolan Schneider and Grace Largent and Watkins’ Olivia Crock all from Pau Hana.

The Jill Griesse Memorial is named in honor of Pau Hana’s founder in 1968. She died in 2014 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

The event has raised more than $94,000 for donation to cancer research in its existence. Members and supporters of the Pau Hana club also ride in Pelotonia every August.
