On 16 September 2020, Summerville joined Leeds United for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.{{Cite news |last=Sobot |first=Lee |date=16 September 2020 |title=Leeds United sign winger Crysencio Summerville from Feyenoord |language=en |work=Yorkshire Evening Post |url=https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leeds-united-sign-winger-crysencio-summerville-feyenoord-2973838 |access-date=26 September 2020}}

He made his debut on 17 September 2021 against Newcastle United, in the Premier League, coming on for Raphinha in the 67th minute.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58510618|last=Magowan|first=Alistair|title=Newcastle 1–1 Leeds – Saint-Maximin equaliser earns point|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 September 2021}}

In August 2022 Summerville agreed a new contract at Leeds until 2026.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cqvg3949q32o Leeds contract extension]

On 23 October 2022, Summerville scored his first Premier League goal in a 3–2 defeat against Fulham at Elland Road.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63274134|title=Leeds 2–3 Fulham|last=Dawkes|first=Phil|publisher=BBC Sport|date=23 October 2022}} On 29 October, he scored the winning goal in the 89th minute in a 2–1 victory over Liverpool, making it his club's first win at Anfield since April 2001, simultaneously ending Liverpool's 29-game unbeaten streak at home in the Premier League.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63354918|last=Rose|first=Gary|title=Liverpool 1–2 Leeds|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 October 2022}} On 5 November 2022, he scored another late winning goal to give Leeds a come-from-behind 4–3 win at home against Bournemouth.{{Cite news|title=Leeds 4–3 Bournemouth|language=en-GB|publisher=BBC Sport|last=Johnston|first=Neil|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63436261|date=5 November 2022|access-date=2022-11-05}} His goal in Leeds’ 4–3 away loss at Tottenham Hotspur on 12 November brought Summerville's league tally to four goals in four consecutive games, as the Premier League went on hiatus for the World Cup.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/fooball/63523918|title=Tottenham 4–3 Leeds|language=en-GB|last=Howarth|first=Matthew|publisher=BBC Sport|date=12 November 2022|access-date=5 November 2022}} However, he did not find the net again in either the league or the cup for the remainder of the season and found himself often substituted or, when not in the starting XI, coming on usually as a direct second-half replacement for Brenden Aaronson; Leeds United suffered from poor form during this period and were consequently relegated from the Premier League.

Summerville scored a brace in an eight-minute spell at Carrow Road in a late-in-the-game 3–2 win on 21 October 2023. This was the first time since May 2021 that Leeds had had three victories in a row and moved them up to third in the Championship.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67108820|title=Norwich 2–3 Leeds|publisher=BBC Sport|date=21 October 2023|access-date=29 October 2023}} He followed this up seven days later with another pair of goals, both scored in the first half, in the team’s 4–1 home victory over Huddersfield.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67178996|title=Leeds 4–1 Huddersfield: Derby Delight for Leeds Against Tame Huddersfield|publisher=BBC Sport|date=28 October 2023|access-date=29 October 2023}}Summerville further proved instrumental in the Leeds side, where, after an assist to Piroe in a 2–1 win against Plymouth on November 11 2023,{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67318259|title=Leeds United 2–1 Plymouth Argyle: Dan James and Joel Piroe on target for Whites|publisher=BBC Sport|date=11 November 2023}} he would have a goal contribution in five consecutive games.
