Artem Dovbyk, born on 21 June 1997 (age 29), is a Ukraine striker now with Bologna, where he wears the number nine. His current market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came with Dnipro-1 in 2022-23, when he scored 24 goals in 30 appearances. That is the kind of return which tends to travel well on a CV, even if centre-forwards are still judged rather more harshly once the goals slow down.
At Bologna in 2026-27, Dovbyk has started with three Serie A appearances and one goal. He has also remained involved with Ukraine, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying this season.
Dovbyk’s career is that of a proven Ukrainian centre-forward who built his reputation with goals at Dnipro-1 and is now testing that scoring record in Italy with Bologna.
