Arsenal is reportedly targeting Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker Georgiy Sudakov, one of Ukrainian football’s most exciting talents. According to journalist Pete O’Rourke on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the Gunners face competition from Tottenham Hotspur as they eye a potential transfer for the 22-year-old next year.
Sudakov has been delivering standout performances this season, with seven goals and two assists in ten matches across all competitions for Shakhtar. Known for his versatility, Sudakov primarily operates as a No. 10 but is also adept at playing as a box-to-box midfielder or on the left wing. His dynamic dribbling, powerful long-range shots, and ability to create opportunities for teammates make him a prized target for European clubs, including Juventus, who also have him high on their list of priorities.
Despite his current deal running until 2028, Sudakov’s impressive form suggests he could become a significant addition to Arsenal’s squad. Manager Mikel Arteta is likely drawn to his ability to bolster the attack, complementing the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. However, securing the Ukrainian international won’t come cheap, with Shakhtar reportedly valuing him highly.
If Arsenal manages to land Sudakov, he could emerge as a future star in the Premier League, providing both immediate impact and long-term potential.
