Heorhii Sudakov, born on 1 September 2002 (age 24), is a Ukrainian central attacking midfielder at Benfica, where he wears the No. 10 shirt. His senior career to this point is shaped chiefly by his Benfica spell, rather than by a run of clubs or a winding route through the game.
Across two league seasons with Benfica, Sudakov has made 30 league appearances and scored five goals. His most productive campaign came in 2025-2026, when he scored four times in 22 league games – useful output from an attacking midfielder without requiring anyone to reach for the bunting.
He has remained involved in 2026-2027, with eight Liga Portugal appearances and one goal, as well as five appearances in Europa League qualifying and three more in the Europa League. Across all competitions for Benfica this season, he has made 16 appearances and scored once, which keeps him firmly in the first-team picture.
Sudakov has also been active for Ukraine this season, making four appearances in World Cup qualifying and scoring once, alongside two Nations League appearances. His career remains centred on Benfica, with steady club involvement and a continuing role at international level.
