Interest In Roma Star Ramps Up As Three English Premier League Sides Consider Bids

Start

Roma striker Artem Dovbyk is set to be the subject of a bidding war between three English Premier League sides.

Dovbyk is available for transfer this summer just 12 months after joining the Giallorossi from Girona. The Ukrainian scored 17 times in all competitions in 2024-25.

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is willing to listen to offers in the region of €35million for the 28-year-old striker. That has put a number of clubs on red alert who are all keen to sign the 2023-24 LaLiga top scorer.

Which English Premier League Clubs Want Artem Dovbyk?

As Roma prepare to offload Artem Dovbyk, three English Premier League clubs are set to go toe-to-toe for his signature this summer.

Those in question are Crystal Palace, Leeds United and West Ham United. The English top-flight sides are all keen to add more firepower to their roster this summer.

As it stands, no formal talks have begun from the trio. However, Turkish giants Besiktas have made contact with the Giallorossi but are yet to make an official bid.

Daniel Farke’s Whites have shown the most interest so far alongside the Hammers. Both sides need a genuine goalscorer. Especially the Londoners who only have Niclas Fullkrug to call upon as a genuine forward.

Palace have European soccer to contend with this summer and view Dovbyk as an ideal candidate to play up top alongside Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Artem Dovbyk Career Stats

In the last five seasons alone, Artem Dovbyk has hit double figures during his time with Dnipro-1 (3), Girona and current employers Roma.

Offshore sportsbooks firmly indicate his time at the Stadio Olimpico will shortly conclude. Dovbyk is currently -175 to move to the Premier League and -150 to switch to Beskitas.

Certain Giallorossi supporters will be unhappy to see the striker leave. Especially as he has proven to be one of Europe’s most lethal goalscorers in recent seasons.

Throughout his club career, Dovbyk has made 273 appearances across all competitions and netted 122 times. He also has 11 goals in 36 outings for Ukraine.

What Is Artem Dovbyk’s Style Of Play

Something of which makes Artem Dovbyk an attractive option is his style of play. The 2024 LaLiga top scorer is a versatile forward who is strong on the ground and air.

Not only does he have an impressive goal record, Dovbyk is adept at holding up the ball and bringing team-mates into play. His physicality very much suits the English Premier League.

Dovbyk is intelligent off the ball and has great movement in and around the box. The Ukrainian international is a prolific finisher and can also chip in with defensive work.

Such attributes make him a hugely exciting prospect for Crystal Palace, Leeds and West Ham. However, the trio will need to move quickly with Besiktas also interested in bringing him to Turkey.
