The Ukrainian forward will continue his career in the Turkish Super Lig
23-year-old Danylo Sikan leaves Shakhtar and moves to Turkish side Trabzonspor. The clubs reached a corresponding agreement on January 22.
We remind that Danylo Sikan played for the Miners from January 2019. He made 115 appearances for the Orange-and-Blacks, scoring 31 goals and providing 9 assists. The forward became the champion of Ukraine three times (2020, 2023, 2024), won the Ukrainian Cup (2024) and the Ukrainian Super Cup (2021) together with Shakhtar. He also played on loan for Mariupol, Karpaty and Hansa (Germany). In the 2024/25 season, Danylo made 18 appearances for the Pitmen, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist.
FC Shakhtar thanks Danylo Sikan for his professionalism and dedication to the club, beautiful and important goals, vivid emotions and significant contribution to the team's victories and achievements! We wish him new successes in his future football career.
Marino Pusic, Shakhtar head coach:
– For me as a coach, it is always a special moment. First of all, I have to admit that I am a bit sad because Sikan is not only a valuable player for us, he always worked hard, was always ready for the team, was our first forward scoring a lot of goals, was ready to play every time, put a lot of effort into every game and did everything he could. In that way, I am going to miss you a lot, both as a person, as a professional, a real team player, and as a guy who did everything possible for the team. So, I am very, very sad that you are leaving, of course, but at the same time I am proud of you because everyone has ambitions, and it is a good thing. You certainly have your ambitions as well, and now is your time to pursue them. I am very happy for you that you will take the next step to another club. I am pretty sure that you will do a great job there. So, thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. I think I speak for all our staff members and players, your teammates. You did a great job for Shakhtar, and we never know what is going to happen in the future, but I wish you a lot of luck, success and happiness in your new adventure. Stay in touch. Thank you!
