Myhialo Mudryk has reportedly recommended Georgiy Sudakov to his current club, Chelsea, as Arsenal are also keen on the Shakhtar Donetsk star.
According to Fichajes, Mykhailo Mudryk has started pushing for Chelsea to sign Georgiy Sudakov. The Ukrainian international wants his compatriot and former Shakhtar Donetsk teammate to join him at Stamford Bridge. Still, there are plenty of other sides, including Arsenal, that are keen on the highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder.
Shakhtar Donetsk feel they have a new multi-million-pound player on their hands in Georgiy Sudakov and are already thinking about their next big move in future windows. Their record outgoing transfer was Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined Chelsea last January in a massive deal, with Arsenal also part of the race back then.
Mudryk now wants Chelsea to sign his former Shakhtar Donetsk teammate Sudakov ahead of the other clubs vying for the highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder. The Ukrainian has already garnered the attention of some top teams, including Barcelona and Newcastle United, who are interested in the rising star.
Manchester United are also considering entering the chase, but the highly-rated 21-year-old will cost a lot of money. Shakhtar are relaxed about his situation as Sudakov has a contract until 2028, meaning they will either wait to sell him or let him leave only if their demands are met.
Arsenal and Chelsea appear interested, with the London duo considered front-runners for the Ukrainan’s signature. The Gunners have good relations with Shakhtar following their prolonged negotiations with them last January for Mudryk.
With Mikel Arteta keen on strengthening his midfield for the future, he may look at Sudakov as a target. There are doubts whether they will sign him immediately in the January window, but next summer, they might consider the highly-rated 21-year-old.
Chelsea are also interested, and Mudryk has now recommended his compatriot as a viable option to improve the current squad. The argument is that the winger has not performed to expected levels, which could see the Blues not heed on his advice on signings.
Even without Mudryk recommending Sudakov, Chelsea have an interest nonetheless. The club have adopted a new transfer policy of signing young stars below a specific age bracket. Sudakov falls well within those margins, but eventually, the money demanded by Shakhtar will play a vital role in this transfer.
In January, Chelsea have other priorities, like signing a new striker, which could restrict any move for Sudakov. They could get active in the summer for the highly-rated 21-year-old, during which they might face intense competition from rivals, probably even Arsenal.
