WHAT HAPPENED?

Shakhtar Donetsk chief executive Sergey Palkin was in attendance at Stamford Bridge on April 16 as Chelsea demolished Everton 6-0.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After the match, Palkin told reporters: "This summer window, he has a big chance to move to some big clubs. We have had some contacts with big clubs and some are not negotiating with us directly but are getting a feel for the summer environment. He will definitely move to a top European club this summer. When I was at Chelsea versus Everton, many people asked me about Sudakov."

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

Mauricio Pochettino's side are high on confidence at the moment after registering back-to-back wins in the Premier League where they scored seven goals including five against West Ham during the weekend. They will next face Nottingham Forest on Saturday in an away fixture.
