According to Bolotnikov, Dovbik’s 24 goals in 30 games, eight of which came from penalties, falls short of former Shakhtar midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s record of 25 goals in 29 games during the 2012/13 season. Dovbik’s agent has confirmed interest in the player from Spanish club Girona, who also had Ukrainian winger Viktor Tsygankov in their ranks.

“Dovbik did not break the Ukrainian championship record. On the one hand, sorry. Because I want the Ukrainian to be the record holder. On the other hand, man, if you don’t break the record by scoring eight goals from the penalty spot, then you probably don’t need to be the top scorer,” said Bolotnikov in the KDK program.
