West Ham United Want To Sign The 22-year-old Midfielder: Will The Deal Be Possible? | OneFootball

Ben Jacobs and Will Lancaster have stated in their exclusive report from Give Me Sport that West Ham United want to sign the 22-year-old Ukrainian midfielder Georgiy Sudakov in the upcoming summer transfer window. They are keeping tabs on some quality midfielders in the transfer market, and the Shakhtar Donetsk man has attracted the attention of the Hammers. The report has also stated that the Hammers might have to pay €65 million to sign the player.

West Ham United want to sign Georgiy Sudakov

Guido Rodriguez and Carlos Soler have rejuvenated the midfield options but have not dominated the positions. Moreover, the future of Edson Alvarez and Tomas Soucek are certain at the club. Hence, they want to sign a midfielder.

Sudakov has been performing really well for Shakhtar, and his performances have attracted the attention of quite a number of clubs. He is a player with a bright future. Known for his exceptional technical ability, he operates primarily as an attacking midfielder but has the versatility to adapt to various midfield roles.

His vision and composure on the ball stand out, making him a key player in dictating the tempo and creating opportunities. Sudakov excels in tight spaces, showcasing both his dribbling and passing skills. His link-up play is intelligent, often connecting defence with attack seamlessly. His consistent performances have not gone unnoticed, with top European clubs eyeing him for his potential and current skill set. Therefore, West Ham United will benefit greatly from his services.

Although the midfielder has a lot of quality, the price tag of €65 million might turn out to be a problem in the deal for West Ham United. It remains to be seen if the Hammers are ready to pay that much amount for the 22-year-old midfielder. From my point of view, West Ham won’t be looking to pay that big of an amount for the player and will try to negotiate a better deal for Sudakov.
