Georgiy Sudakov hailed as real talent
It really has been some start to the 2024/25 campaign for Sudakov who already has 10 appearances under his belt.
The 22-year-old has featured twice in the Champions League but his sene goals and two assists have come in his eight appearances in the Ukrainian top flight.
