According to Give Me Sport, West Ham United have identified Shakhtar Donetsk’s Georgiy Sudakov as an ideal fit to replace Carlos Soler in the long term. The Premier League club could be making an official move for the former in the summer.
Georgiy Sudakov is a great talent
Georgiy Sudakov came through Shakhtar Donetsk academy and made his debut in 2020. Since then he has been on an improvement spree. He has established himself as one of the most exciting youngsters across the globe.

Sudakov is putting impacts on the games with his display in the ongoing campaign. He has already netted 10 goals and provided three assists in 25 games. He is averaging 1.9 shots, 1.4 key passes, and 1 dribble per game (stats via whoscored).
The Ukrainian midfielder is versatile to don different roles in the middle of the park. He has an intelligent mind and doesn’t shy away from getting into the tackles. His accurate passing, precise decision making and scoring abilities make him a valuable footballer.
Georgiy Sudakov’s value could be an issue
Earlier it was reported that West Ham United were trying to convert Carlos Soler’s loan spell permanent. However, it didn’t pan out and now the club have identified Georgiy Sudakov as a potential replacement for the PSG-bound footballer.
Sudakov is a great talent who is expected to have a bright future ahead. He has all the traits to mark an era in a top-tier league. With more experience and proper guidance, he can turn into an elite name who can serve a club for many years to come.
The 22-year-old can be a great addition to the West Ham United squad. However, €54 million value could be a hindrance in the pursuit. Not satisfied with the demands, the likes of Napoli and Manchester City didn’t pull the strings for the player.
