Artem Dovbyk is living decisive hours for his future. The Ukrainian striker, who had a historic season at Girona before moving to Italy, is not part of Roma's plans for the remainder of the season, and his departure seems imminent.

Artem Dovbyk is facing a very different scenario than he imagined when he landed in the Italian capital. The sporting gamble has not paid off, and the club is already working to find him a new destination in this winter transfer market.

The decision is purely based on sporting reasons. The coaching staff believes that his style doesn't fit into the team's playing philosophy for the second half of the season. In this context, England stands out as the clearest path to revive his career and close a brief and disappointing chapter in Serie A.

Artem Dovbyk, out of AS Roma's plans

The forward's situation within the club is clear. Artem Dovbyk is not in AS Roma's plans, and the sports management has already informed the player's entourage that it's best to find an immediate exit.

The striker has struggled for consistent playing time, and his impact has fallen far short of expectations after his goal-scoring exploits in LaLiga. The lack of confidence has marked his time in Italy.

Roma understands that prolonging this situation benefits no one. Therefore, the player's name has been put on the international market. The goal is to find a club that can offer him playing time while allowing the Roman club to reduce wage mass and adjust its planning.

Gian Piero Gasperini's decision

The change in the forward's role is largely due to Gian Piero Gasperini's stance. The coach believes that Artem Dovbyk doesn't fit the offensive automatisms he aims to develop.

His system requires forwards with constant mobility, high pressure, and the ability to link up away from the penalty area, areas where the Ukrainian has failed to convince. Gasperini has been clear internally and has given the green light to his exit. There will be no turning back unless an unexpected market twist occurs. This lack of tactical fit has hastened a decision that seemed unthinkable just a few months ago.

Premier League, the top destination

Given this situation, the Premier League emerges as the most likely destination for Artem Dovbyk. In recent days, his name has been offered to several English clubs with clear offensive needs.

Everton, Sunderland, and West Ham have received detailed reports on the player and are seriously considering the move. In England, they appreciate his physical power and ability to occupy central defenders. The pace and demands of English football are deemed suitable for a forward of his caliber, especially in teams looking for clear references in the penalty area. Additionally, the British market allows for swift operations, crucial for finalizing his departure before the end of January.

A profile still in demand

Despite his discreet spell in Italy, Artem Dovbyk retains a good international reputation. His previous performance in Spain still influences clubs who believe that Roma wasn't the ideal environment for him.

The forward is still at an optimal age and possesses physical and goal-scoring attributes that make him an interesting prospect. His inner circle trusts that a change in league and playing style will help him regain form and confidence. The player's priority is clear: he wants playing time, prominence, and sporting stability, something he currently lacks at Roma.

A swift and necessary farewell

At Roma, they acknowledge that Artem Dovbyk's time there has been too short to make a lasting impression. However, they believe that an orderly departure is the best solution. The club is working on either a loan or a low-cost transfer, depending on the conditions offered by the Premier League.

For Dovbyk, this represents a major opportunity for the second half of the season, as he aims to gain prominence. He is very attracted to playing in the Premier League and views any option in a positive light.
