One player reportedly on their radar is Georgiy Sudakov, a talented 22-year-old playmaker currently plying his trade at Shakhtar Donetsk.

According to TBR Football, Spurs have sent scouts to watch Sudakov in action, and it appears that a move could be on the cards as the midfielder looks set for a potential switch away from Ukraine.

Sudakov has been in strong form this season, notching up eight goals and three assists for Shakhtar. His creativity and eye for goal have made him one of the most exciting young talents in Europe.

With Tottenham looking to strengthen their midfield, Sudakov could add the spark that has been missing at times this season.

As for Sudakov, a move to the Premier League would offer him the chance to test himself at one of the most competitive leagues in the world.

Competition heats up

However, Tottenham will face fierce competition for the Ukrainian's signature.

Reports indicate that Liverpool have also been scouting Sudakov, while Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea have made inquiries earlier in the season.

With interest from several top clubs, Sudakov's next move will likely come down to which team offers the most attractive project.

For Spurs, the opportunity to secure Sudakov could be a game-changer. He is expected to compete with James Maddison for a starting role, and his arrival would bring a fresh dynamic to the Tottenham midfield.

Maddison has shown glimpses of his quality since joining Spurs but has struggled with consistency, making Sudakov's potential competition for a starting spot even more intriguing.

This battle for places could only serve to improve Tottenham's squad, adding depth and versatility.

The midfielder is keen to take the next step in his career, and a transfer to Tottenham, or any of the other interested clubs, would provide him with the platform to achieve his potential.

Shakhtar Donetsk, known for developing talented players, are unlikely to let Sudakov go easily, and Spurs will have to meet their asking price.

The Ukrainian side is expected to demand a premium for their star player, but given Sudakov's ability and potential, any club that secures his services will be getting a promising talent with a bright future ahead.
