According to the Daily Express, Tottenham Hotspur are currently pursuing a move for Georgiy Sudakov, but Shakhtar Donetsk is not in a rush and will seek a high cost for the midfielder.

Sudakov has made tremendous progress since joining Shakhtar’s senior team last season, and the midfielder is now widely regarded as one of the top young talents in Ukrainian football.

According to the Express, Tottenham and Chelsea are two of numerous clubs that have expressed’strong interest’ in signing the 21-year-old this summer.

Tottenham and Chelsea are interested in Georgiy Sudakov.

In reality, the article claims that the two London clubs had ‘regular negotiations’ about a deal in the run-up to the summer transfer season.

However, the Premier League duo may have to wait a while because Shakhtar is eager to trade their star player after the Euros because they believe he will excel in Germany.

The Ukrainian club is said to be unwilling to trade Sudakov before the tournament, unless they receive a large offer.

In fact, there is speculation at Shakhtar that they will receive another large amount for the teenager, similar to the £62 million they received from Chelsea for Mykhaylo Mudryk.

Understandably, Shakhtar want to wait until after the Euros to see how much Sudakov’s worth rises. However, Postecoglou has made it clear that Tottenham want to complete the majority of their business before pre-season begins, so the Lilywhites may consider other options.
