Tomáš Suslov (born 7 June 2002) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or right winger for Italian Serie A club Hellas Verona and the Slovakia national team.[1]
Career
Club
On 10 August 2018, Suslov joined Groningen on a two-year contract with an option for another season.[2]
On 1 September 2023, Suslov joined Hellas Verona in Italy on loan with a conditional obligation to buy.[3] On 31 January 2024, he signed permanently with a contract until June 2027.[4]
International
Regarded as one of the finest players of his generation in Slovakia, Suslov has been regularly capped throughout all the categories of the national team. He debuted for the Slovak senior team on 18 November 2020 in a Nations League game against the Czech Republic, coming on as a substitute to Albert Rusnák in the 62nd minute and becoming the youngest Slovak footballer to debut at 18 years old.[5]
Despite numerous performances where Suslov showed huge signs of promise and was close to getting his name on the scoresheet, it was in his 11th cap that he scored his first senior international goal in a Nations League game against Belarus in June 2022.[6]
Personal life
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Suslov revealed his Ukrainian ancestry through his paternal side and his family got involved in humanitarian aid to affected Ukrainians.[7]
