Tottenham want versatile 22-year-old attacker who will command a big transfer fee

Tottenham Hotspur are in the race to sign the Shakhtar Donetsk attacking midfielder Georgiy Sudakov.

The 22-year-old is reportedly a target for Arsenal as well, but the report from Football Insider claims that Tottenham will look to push for his signature. Signing the player will be quite difficult, and he is likely to command a big transfer fee.

He is highly rated across Europe and he could be a key player for Spurs in the long term. The 22-year-old is capable of operating in the number ten role as well as a winger. He will provide creativity and goals to the side in the final third.

The attacking midfielder has been on Tottenham’s radar for a while now.

Tottenham could use Georgiy Sudakov

Spurs could certainly use more quality and depth in that area. Son Heung-min will be past his peak soon and James Maddison has been quite inconsistent. Competition for places will help the players improve. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat Arsenal to his signature.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite attractive for the Ukrainian and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League. He will be up against world-class defenders in English football and regular football in the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his world-class potential. 

Meanwhile, Spurs need to improve the other areas of their squad as well. It will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a more reasonable fee with Shakhtar Donetsk for the highly-rated midfielder. They cannot afford to spend over the odds on Sudakov if they want to plug the other weaknesses in their squad.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. A big-money move in January since unlikely and Spurs might have to wait until the summer window in order to get the deal done.
