Heorhiy Sudakov is a midfielder for Shakhtar and the Ukraine national team who will be the next big sale for the Donetsk club! He started his football career at the youth academy of Metalist Kharkiv, but quickly moved to Shakhtar and since 2017, playing as a central or attacking midfielder, he has been rapidly climbing the career ladder, surprising the coaches of youth teams. Sudakov began to be properly noticed after his performances for the U17 and U19 teams. In the 2018/19 season, Heorhiy made his debut in the UEFA Youth Champions League and helped Shakhtar’s U17 team become the Ukrainian champions. At the same time, he was named the best player of the final part of the local Youth Football League! In the 2019-2020 campaign, Sudakov progressed to the more competitive second team of Shakhtar. Stability quickly earned the Ukrainian an invitation to the main side. On October 24, 2020, Heorhiy made his debut in the Ukrainian league, and 6 days later, on October 30, he scored his first goal in the competition! The midfielder’s play gradually attracted the attention of the national team coaches, so on April 30, 2021, Heorhiy received a call from the then head coach of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko and made his debut for the blue and yellows in a friendly game against Bahrain on May 23. On June 1, he was included in the national team’s squad for Euro 2020 - yes, just a month after the first call! Sudakov’s rapid career jumps might have made him a little dizzy, but he’s a tough cookie! After the EUROS, Heorhiy had a significant breakthrough at the club level at Shakhtar, finishing the 2021/22 season with 14 appearances in all competitions and 4 goals. The next football year was even better for him - 39 matches, 5 goals and 11 assists. In the 2022/23 season, Sudakov played all six matches of the Champions League group stage, registering two assists, and made his way to the top 40 young talents of the year according to UEFA! This season, Sudakov is building on his success. He has scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in 25 matches in all competitions, with his best performances coming in the Champions League group stage against Barcelona! In the first match in Spain, Heorhiy scored a goal, and in the return leg, Sudakov launched an attack with a fabulous long ball that turned out to be not just a goal, but the winning goal for Shakhtar that night! This pass is worth your likes! Sudakov’s never-ending triumphs became a trigger for the big players in the transfer market, who have been actively interested in Heorhiy since last fall. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Juventus and Napoli started sending inquiries about the midfielder, but he decided to stay at Shakhtar, signing a new deal until June 30, 2028. Later, the player revealed the truth: «There were official proposals from Juventus and Napoli: Shakhtar turned down €40 million from Napoli. At first, I was a little disappointed, then I understood the club’s reasons: they obviously want to get more from my sale. I agreed to renew until winter 2028 with a higher salary and very favorable conditions because I trust the president and our CEO, Serhiy Palkin. He told me that maybe in 6 months or a year, I will go to Europe». Of course, the Sudakov transfer saga did not end there, instead, it flared up even more, but we’ll leave that for dessert! Now we need to clarify Heorhiy’s profile and his true value! Heorhiy Sudakov: strengths and style of play Sudakov’s strengths are undoubtedly his dribbling, equally good use of both feet, vision, technique, set pieces and teamwork. The Ukrainian is able to cover three positions - attacking midfielder, central and left midfielder. Heorhiy is most comfortable when he has freedom of movement in the 4-3-3 formation and looks for free areas between the lines on his own. Currently, Sudakov plays as a number eight at Shakhtar. In every match, he boldly tries to run at opponents, beat them and open up space for his teammates or look for an opportunity to shoot himself. That’s pretty much how he does it! This season, Sudakov is averaging progressive passes and progressive carries per 90 minutes, along with shot-creating actions. His take-ons stats are also pleasing - 3.1 per game.
