Ajax has reached an agreement with Girona FC and Viktor Tsygankov regarding the transfer of the attacker. The 28-year-old winger has signed a contract in Amsterdam that runs until June 30, 2029.
Tsygankov was born on November 15, 1997, came through the youth academy of Dynamo Kyiv and subsequently made more than 200 appearances for the club's first team. In the winter of 2023, he completed a move to Girona FC. The Ukraine international, who has earned 67 caps for his country, has since played more than 100 competitive matches for the Spanish club.
Jordi Cruijff: "We are delighted that Viktor has signed with us. With his arrival, we have added an experienced player who will strengthen the squad immediately. He is also familiar with the style of play we want to implement. We are working to ensure he is available for selection as soon as possible."
With his signature on a contract running until June 30 2029, Viktor Tsygankov can now officially call himself an Ajax player. Now that the ink has dried, it is time to take a closer look at the 28-year-old Ukrainian. Who is Tsygankov and what are his key strengths?
Viktor Tsygankov is delighted and proud to be part of Ajax. In his first interview, the player speaks about his calm personality, his love of Star Wars, and his admiration for head coach Míchel Sánchez, with whom he previously worked at Girona FC. "He always wants to win and always wants to dominate. That suits us as players and it suits a club like Ajax."
Following a weekend off in the Eredivisie, Ajax resumed training on Monday. At the Toekomst, the team is preparing for the second leg against FC Sion. The two sides will meet at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Thursday evening, with Ajax having won 2-4 in Switzerland last week.
