Artem Dovbyk, born on 21 June 1997 (age 29), is a Ukraine striker now with Bologna, where he wears the No 9 shirt. His current market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His sharpest league season came at Dnipro-1 in 2022-2023, when he scored 24 goals in 30 appearances. That is the sort of return that tends to travel well on a player’s record, even if strikers are rarely allowed to live off one prolific year for long.
In 2026-2027, Dovbyk has made five Serie A appearances for Bologna and scored once. He has also been involved with Ukraine during the same season, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying.
Dovbyk’s career to date is that of an established centre-forward who built his reputation in Ukraine and is now working in Serie A. His profile remains straightforward: a No 9 judged, as ever, on goals and usefulness at the top end of the pitch.
