Ukrainian Viktor Tsygankov, new Girona player

Winger Viktor Tsygankov committed to Girona on Tuesday for four-and-a-half seasons until 30th June 2027, the Catalan club confirmed after reaching an agreement with Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev.

Tsygankov, 25, whose contract with Dinamo expired in June, is a right winger who can also play on the left flank or as a playmaker.

This season he has made 23 appearances and scored nine goals: six in the Russian league, two in the Europa League and one in the Champions League qualifiers.

Awarded as Ukraine's best player in 2018 and 2021, he has been capped 43 times for his country, scoring seven goals. Viktor Tsygankov has played his entire career at Dynamo Kiev, scoring 94 goals in 236 appearances.

In Europe, between the Champions League and the Europa League, he has scored 13 goals in 64 games. In order to register Tsygankov, who was in the Montilivi box for Saturday's 2-1 win over Sevilla, Girona will have to make a move, as they currently have 25 first-team places available.
