Former Shakhtar Donetsk star Yuriy Virt has heaped praise on FC Kudrivka midfielder Andriy Storchous. Following a brace against Dynamo Kyiv in the final matchday, Virt identified him as the standout player of the 30th round.
Andriy Storchous was definitely the MVP of the round. He played fantastically against Dynamo, nearly became the top scorer in the UPL, and scored two goals. His second goal was pure class, showing great skill with a curling finish into the far corner. Yuriy Virt
This season marked Storchous's first in the Ukrainian Premier League. With 12 goals, he finished as the second-highest scorer in the competition, trailing only Dynamo forward Matviy Ponomarenko.
Virt believes the midfielder would be an asset for most UPL teams, citing a lack of quality, clinical Ukrainian players in the league. However, the expert noted that any potential transfer will depend on Kudrivka's status in the top flight and the player's own professional ambitions.
