Well-known journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko commented on Artem Dovbyk's successful performances for Girona.

Artem is a textured and powerful striker. Virtually injury-free. Now they go crazy for such players. Add to that 11 goals in La Liga. These are all tens of millions of euros. "Girona is unlikely to take a risk and keep the player for the second or third season, because no one knows how it will go.
Guardiola played in MS without a pronounced forward, with the so-called false nine. In the summer of 2022, he abandoned this idea and invited a centre-forward, a power player, Erling Golanad. The team won the Champions League.
Dovbyk is a player with a very similar profile to Golanad. He gets his way thanks to his physical superiority over the opponent and his goal-scoring sense. The main need for such strikers is the midfield. There will be assists, there will be goals. If you are on a starvation diet, then nothing will happen. At Dnipro-1, Artem had Pikhalenok, and at Girona, three players pass to him. Dovbyk shows realisation.
I think Arsenal would be a very interesting option for Artem. Arteta continues Guardiola's line from the World Cup to Holland and plays without a power forward. The attack has two spindles, Nketiah and Jesus, both 175 cm. The potential transfer of Dovbyk will open up great opportunities for Arteta. The middle of the field is ready to create chances for the striker. He just needs to score. Zinchenko will help with the adaptation," Serhii wrote on Facebook.
