The January transfer window is quickly approaching and is going to offer both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur an opportunity to bolster their squads.

It has been a stunning start to the campaign for Liverpool, with Arne Slot’s side setting the p𒁃ace in both the Premier Leagu༒e and Champions League.

The same cannot be said for Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham side who slipped up 🐭again on Thursday night in the Europa League.

Ironically, the Reds did minimal business in the summer with Martin Zubimendi rejecting a move to Liverpool despite being their top target.

And it could well be seen as a case of more should have been done in north London with Totten♕ham’s squad already being tes🍎ted through some significant injuries.

TBR Football understands both Liverpool and Spurs were in attendance on Thursday night in Eindhoven to check in on Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov.

Liverpool and Tottenham watch Georgiy Sudakov in Europa League

Arsenal, Che💧lsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City have all made enquiries at꧒ some point in the last 18 months.

The Ukraine intern𝓰at꧙ional played the entire 90 minutes in the Netherlands on Thursday night as Shakhtar returned with a 3-2 loss under their belt.

TBR Football has been told that Tottenham and L🐬iverpool were amongst the sides in Eindhoven to check on Sudakov, althoꦇugh he was upstaged on the night by American star Malik Tillman – who himself is attracting all sorts of attention.

Sudakov,�ཧ� who is still only 22,  is understood to be ready to make the move away from Shakhtar – who are ready to sell.

Sudakov has been valued around £50m follo🍌wing his impressive run with the Ukrainian side but he was unable to guide them to victory on Thursd🥂ay.

The midfielder has been able to provide a return of seven goals a🗹nd two assis🍒ts in the league alone so far this season.

However꧟, he was unable to ꧑get his name on the scoresheet on Thursday night as Shakhtar collapsed in the l

  • 90 minutes played
  • 51 touches
  • 88% pass accuracy
  • 1 key pass
  • 1/3 successful crosses
  • 2/3 successful long balls
  • 2/2 aerial duels won
  • 2 tackles

It was certainly not Sudakov’s most prod⭕uctive display against the Eredivisie side but he re♚mains a player in high demand.

Danny Murphy has already hailed Sudakov as he feels he is a🎐 player who could really prove a positive addition to a Premier League side.
