Roma signs LaLiga ace Dovbyk from Girona
Serie A side Roma has signed Artem Dovbyk, who finished as top scorer in LaLiga last season, from Girona.
The 27 year-old scored 24 goals and contributed eight assists in 36 LaLiga matches in 2023-2024 for Girona, which finished third after being a title contender for much of the campaign.
Roma is reported to have paid €38 million ($63.7 million) for Dovbyk, who played for Ukraine at UEFA Euro 2024.
Dovbyk's LaLiga goals came from 24.29 expected goals, with the striker converting 21 of the 43 big chances that came his way.
He seemingly comes in as Roma's replacement for Romelu Lukaku, who has returned to Chelsea after a successful loan stint in the Italian capital, albeit the Belgian is being linked with Napoli.
Dovbyk had also been of interest to Atletico Madrid.
