tottenham’s The final home game of the season brought plenty of tension, relief and some notable faces to North London.

One of the more unexpected guests, however, was Benfica midfielder Heorhi Sudakov – who attended Spurs’ 1-0 win over Everton with his agent Vadim Shabali.

The result saved Tottenham’s Premier League status after a disastrous domestic campaign. While there were many guests around the stadium for such a decisive afternoon, the presence of a Benfica player accompanied by his agent naturally raised eyebrows.

Who is Sudakov?

Heori Sudakov is considered one of Ukraine’s greatest talents. The attacking midfielder finished the season with four goals and four assists in 36 appearances for Benfica in all competitions.

Benfica signed him from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer for around €20m (£16.9m). His idea was to become the main creative reference of the side after years of acting in Ukraine.

His adaptation has not been perfect so far, especially given the tactical and physical demands of Portuguese football. Nevertheless, glimpses of quality have been evident throughout the season.

When he played, Sudakov was highly active centrally and moving into wide areas – particularly towards the right flank – averaging 2.28 key passes and 6.96 crosses per game, numbers that underline how much Benfica trusted his creativity and delivery.

Tottenham’s visit explained

According to Portuguese outlet to ballHeori Sudakov used his holidays to visit London ahead of Ukraine’s June friendlies. After the final whistle, he posted a video showing the bonding between the Tottenham players and supporters after the survival.

Later he uploaded a picture from the stands with Shabli.

Undoubtedly, there would be a reasonable explanation for the trip. Everton defender Vitaly Mykolenko is Sudakov’s international teammate and was involved in the match.

Why are questions raised about this?

Having Heori Sudakov there with his agent makes this trip more interesting than a simple football trip.

Tottenham have struggled badly for creativity and squad depth this season. Injuries exposed his lack of technical options in attacking midfield areas, especially as games became more compact.

Sudakov is not a finished product yet. However, he is exactly the type of technical midfielder that Premier League clubs monitor closely ahead of a potential breakout year.

Of course, his Champions League pedigree and record of over 100 goals and 29 assists in 16 matches in the Ukrainian League may tell a slightly different story.

For now, it can only be a football trip between Ukrainian international players. But with an agent next to her in the stands, there’s enough here to wonder whether a summer story might be beginning to form.
