Chelsea have become the latest club to be credited with an interest in Shakhtar Donetsk’s Georgiy Sudakov.
Operating as an attacking midfielder, he has scored three goals and registered one assist from 13 games this season. The 21-year-old’s profile and potential has seen several clubs take notice and Juventus are included in this list.
Gazzetta dello Sport have a report on Chelsea’s interest and this is pointed out when they explain the Serie A side’s plan to try to sign him.
The newspaper states it won’t be easy for the Turin club in their pursuit of Sudakov, also because he’s on the Blues’ agenda.
From the financial point of view, the Old Lady cannot compete with the Premier League side in the chase for the Ukraine international. At the west London club, he’s admired by his compatriot, Mykhaylo Mudryk.
Chelsea signed Mudryk from Shakhtar at the start of this year and prior to that, he played with Sudakov at the Ukrainian club.
Gazzetta claim the winger ‘insists on having him as a teammate’, clearly urging Mauricio Pochettino’s side to sign Sudakov as he wants to reunite with him at Stamford Bridge.
