Dinamo Kiev midfielder Oleksandr Pikhalyonok spoke about Artem Dovbyk’s move to Roma.

The Ukrainian player of the team that Roma will face in this year’s first phase of the Europa League discussed Dovbyk’s adaptation period to Italian football.

“Artem needs time,” Pikhalyonok said in an interview with Sport.ua.

“Now he finds himself in a new league, in a new team and he needs time to adapt,” he added.

“I think he will do well, but I hope not in the match against Dynamo Kiev. We spoke with him a bit after the draw.”
