Crysencio Summerville Al-Hilal Shirt Number 2026/27: Why No. 38?
Crysencio Summerville is listed with the No. 38 shirt at Al-Hilal, according to the club’s official online store. His preferred numbers were unavailable: Darwin Núñez wears No. 7 and Malcom wears No. 10. Summerville wore 38 earlier in his Leeds career. Shop Al-Hilal 2026/27 shirts at 433FC.
What shirt number does Crysencio Summerville wear at Al-Hilal?
Al-Hilal’s official online store lists Crysencio Summerville with the No. 38 shirt for the 2026/27 season. It is an unusual allocation for a senior signing of his profile, because numbers above 30 in the Saudi Pro League are typically reserved for academy graduates being promoted into the first-team squad.
Why couldn’t Summerville take No. 7 or No. 10?
Both numbers he has worn before were already occupied at Al-Hilal. Uruguay striker Darwin Núñez holds the No. 7 shirt, and Brazilian winger Malcom wears No. 10. With neither available, Summerville fell back on 38 — a number that already carries personal history from his time at Leeds United.
What numbers did Summerville wear before joining Al-Hilal?
Summerville wore No. 38 in his early Leeds United years, including the season after promotion, before switching to No. 10 from 2022/23 as he became the club’s leading attacking threat. At West Ham United he wore the No. 7 shirt across both of his seasons at the London Stadium.
| Number | Al-Hilal player | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Darwin Núñez | Summerville’s number at West Ham — unavailable |
| 10 | Malcom | Summerville’s number at Leeds from 2022/23 — unavailable |
| 38 | Crysencio Summerville | Listed by Al-Hilal’s official store; his old Leeds number |
How much did Al-Hilal pay for Summerville?
Al-Hilal completed the signing from West Ham United on 23 July 2026 in a deal reported at around €70 million, roughly £60 million. The Netherlands international signed a four-year contract running through 2030, making him one of the most expensive arrivals of the Saudi Pro League’s 2026 window.
Could Summerville change his number later?
It is possible. Reporting around the move noted that if either Núñez or Malcom departs, Summerville would be well placed to reclaim No. 7 or No. 10. The Saudi transfer window runs to 6 September 2026, so the squad list can still shift before registration closes.
