Chelsea are being linked with a 22-year-old playmaker who’s tipped to be in his final season at his current club. There’s already so much attacking talent within the Chelsea squad, but there’s still transfer rumours linking the Blues with potential new signings.
In terms of the No 10 creative position, Chelsea are extremely blessed with top quality. Cole Palmer is the talisman at Stamford Bridge knitting everything together, while summer signing Joao Felix is a superb alternative.
Speaking recently via The Metro, Pat Nevin insisted Felix needs more minutes in the Blues team.
According to i News, Chelsea are one of the clubs with long-standing interest in Shakhtar Donetsk playmaker Georgiy Sudakov.
It is explained that Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are long-term admirers of the 22-year-old attacking midfielder. Manchester City are the latest Premier League club to keep tabs on him now, too.
The report adds that this will ‘almost certainly’ be Sudakov’s final season with Shakhtar, where he’s been such an instrumental player. This is despite the fact that he’s still under contract until 2028....Read Full Article [Click Here>]
Sudakov has scored seven goals in eight games so far this season in the Ukrainian league, including four goals in his most recent appearance against LNZ Cherkasy.
The Blues were actually mentioned as potential suitors for Ukraine international Sudakov in the recent summer window.
Mail Online claimed back in May that Chelsea held talks with representatives of £65m-rated Sudakov, but the individual ended up staying put for another year with Shakhtar.
He’s starred alongside Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk in the Ukrainian national side in recent years, so it’s definitely worth the club holding a conversation with him to get his thoughts.
Of course, Sudakov does look like a fantastic individual talent. We’re sceptical about bringing another player with his kind of profile into a crowded squad, though.
