Arsenal and Tottenham are in the mix for in-demand Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker Georgiy Sudakov, with other big sides also keen.
According to Football Insider, Georgiy Sudakov’s suitors keep increasing. Arsenal and Tottenham are in the mix for the Shakhtar Donetsk star. Manchester City and Liverpool are also keen on the 22-year-old in-demand playmaker, who will only move next summer, and that too for a huge price.
Georgiy Sudakov is making waves in the market following an exceptional start for Shakhtar Donetsk. He has seven goals in eight league games so far and might be inching closer to a big move away from the Ukrainian club.
Top teams have scouted him during the Champions League campaign, with Liverpool among those keeping a close eye on the player. Manchester City are also linked with Sudakov, who is currently seen as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.
Meanwhile, the two Premier League heavyweights could approach later on, but Shakhtar are not open to selling him in January; they will consider offers for the 22-year-old in-demand playmaker in the summer and will demand a huge price in return for their star, while they are also tough negotiators.
Meanwhile, Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in Sudakov, as the north London duo joined the race for the Skakhtar star. Overall, it does look like an intense battle brewing in the background, as Sudakov could have a choice of clubs seeking his signature in the summer.
Arsenal unlikely to pay big; Tottenham are an option
Arsenal are well-set in the attacking midfield area despite losing Emile Smith-Rowe in the summer. They have Odegaard as their primary creator, but Ethan Nwaneri’s rise could see Mikel Arteta persist with the teenager rather than signing someone new. The Gunners are also keen to give Nwaneri a new deal, which would secure that position for years.
Meanwhile, Tottenham could make a concerted move for Sudakov, considering they are keen to add a new star to that position. They are not extremely happy with James Maddison and could use someone else, with their list also consisting of Eberechi Eze. Should they fail with a move for the Crystal Palace star, the Shakhtar playmaker could be their next bet.
