Sudakov is looking really good lately. In Ukrainian Football, Sudakov has been on a roll this season, delivering some solid performances for the team in the attacking zone. The Ukraine international has scored seven goals and provided two assists in ten matches for Shakhtar this season across all competitions.

The 22-year-old has been turning heads with his plays for his team in the opponent’s half. He’s one of the top young talents in Ukrainian football right now, so it would be smart for the Gunners to try and bring him to the Emirates Stadium.

Sudakov’s got a deal with Shakhtar that runs until the end of 2028, so it might be tough for Arsenal to grab him for a bargain next year.Should Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta bring Sudakov into the team?Sudakov’s got some solid dribbling skills and can really make those driving runs with the ball in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He can really hit the ball hard from a distance and has the knack for setting up some great opportunities for his teammates on the attack.

The Ukrainian star can definitely chip in by scoring and setting up his fair share of goals up front. He usually plays in the number ten spot, but he can also jump in as a box-to-box midfielder or play on the left wing if necessary. But hey, only time will show if the talented attacker can easily adjust to life in the Premier League.

Looks like Sudakov is set to bring some serious quality to Mikel Arteta’s attack at Arsenal. He’s definitely got what it takes to compete for a regular first-team spot at the North London club in the next few years.

At 22, Sudakov could totally be a future star in English football. So, the Gunners should definitely do whatever it takes to bring him in during the winter transfer window or by the end of the season.
