Artem Oleksandrovych Dovbyk (Ukrainian: Артем Олександрович Довбик; born 21 June 1997) is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Girona and the Ukraine national team.

Club career

Born in Cherkasy, Ukraine, Dovbyk is a product of the FC Cherkaskyi Dnipro academy after graduating from the Olympic Reserve Specialized Sports School Slavutych in Cherkasy. His professional debut Dovbyk made with his home team in 2014. He won the 2014–15 Ukrainian Second League, scoring 7 goals.

In summer of 2015 he signed a contract with FC Dnipro,[1] but in April 2016[1] he was then sent on a three-month loan to Moldovan club FC Zaria Bălți, where he won the Moldovan Cup. He would go on to score a joint team high 6 goals as he won the 2016–17 Ukrainian Premier League Best Young Player award. This prompted Ukraine national team coach Andriy Shevchenko to call him up for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

When Dnipro were relegated due to incurring debt, Dovbyk stayed with the club. He would go on to score 12 goals in 13 games in the Ukrainian Second League, gaining interest from foreign clubs, and in 2018 he joined Danish club FC Midtjylland on a free transfer.[2] In 2018 with FC Midtjylland Dovbyk became a national champion and in 2019 becoming a national cup holder. On 2 September 2019, he was loaned out to SønderjyskE for the 2019–20 season.[3] With SønderjyskE, Dovbyk for the second time became a Danish cup holder.

After a lack of regular playing time and dry run on scoresheet, in 2020 Dovbyk returned to Ukraine signing with the recently established SC Dnipro-1 that was just promoted to the Ukrainian premiers in previous season. While his league performance was somewhat under par from what expected, Dovbyk made a nice score run in the Ukrainian Cup netting 4 goals in three games, becoming one of the three top scorers in the tournament.

In 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine had started, the 2021-22 Ukrainian Premier League season was cancelled. Dovbyk made a temporary move to Dynamo Kyiv who were playing charity matches in Europe for the rest of the season to stay in form.

In 2023, he signed for Spanish club Girona and scored a goal on his debut.

International career

Dovbyk was called up in the training camp of the Ukraine U19 national team, but did not play any game for this representation.

At the age of 19, Dovbyk received his first call-up to the full national team when he was named in the 31-player senior squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Iceland on 5 September 2016.[4]

He took part in 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification as a 19-year-old and participated on the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification.

He made his debut for Ukraine on 31 March 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan.[5]

On 29 June 2021, Dovbyk made his debut in UEFA Euro 2020, as a substitute for Andriy Yarmolenko in the extra time of the round of 16 against Sweden. He scored the winning goal in the stoppage time of the overtime to secure a 2–1 victory for Ukraine and qualification to the quarter-finals.[6]
