Heorhii Sudakov, born on 1 September 2002 (age 24), is a Ukrainian central attacking midfielder with Benfica, where he wears the number 10 shirt. His senior club career has been shaped chiefly in Lisbon, with 27 league appearances and four goals across two seasons.
His strongest league return came in 2025-26, when he scored four times in 22 appearances for Benfica. That is the spell which gives his record most of its substance so far: useful production, regular involvement, and enough responsibility to suggest a player trusted in a prominent attacking role.
In 2026-27, Sudakov has made five league appearances and 10 in all competitions for Benfica, including Europa League qualifying matches. His form has been solid, though he has recently been outside the matchday squad, with his last appearance coming in AGF 1-3 Benfica on 27 August 2026. He has also been involved with Ukraine this season, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying and scoring once.
Sudakov’s career to date is centred on Benfica, where his best league output came in 2025-26. He remains an established Ukrainian attacking midfielder with a club record still being built rather than settled.
