Artem Dovbyk, born on 21 June 1997 (age 29), is a Ukrainian striker now with Bologna, where he wears the number 9 shirt. A centre-forward by trade, he has built his career on steady penalty-box output rather than much fuss around the edges.
His most productive league season came with Dnipro-1 in 2022-23, when he scored 24 goals in 30 appearances. That sort of return tends to travel well on a CV, even allowing for the usual caution about moving between leagues.
At Bologna in 2026-27, Dovbyk has made four Serie A appearances and scored one goal. He has also been involved with Ukraine, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying this season. His market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Dovbyk’s career to this point is that of an established Ukrainian striker who earned a bigger platform through his scoring at Dnipro-1 and is now trying to make that count in Italy with Bologna.
