Viktor Vitaliiovych Tsyhankov (Ukrainian: Віктор Віталійович Циганков; born 15 November 1997) is an Israeli-born Ukrainian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for La Liga club Girona. He also represents the Ukraine national team.
Born in Nahariya, Israel, where his father Vitalii Tsyhankov played as a footballer, Tsyhankov moved to Ukraine when he was very young. Tsyhankov is a product of the Nyva Vinnytsia and Dynamo Kyiv academy systems. His first coach was Mykola Zahoruyko.[2]
He made his debut in the Ukrainian Premier League for Dynamo on 14 August 2016 against FC Stal Kamianske.[3] During the 2018–19 season Tsyhankov was recognized as a player of the month in the Ukrainian Premier League on three occasions—March 2018,[4] December 2018,[5] and April 2019.[6]
On 17 January 2023, Tsyhankov joined La Liga side Girona, signing a contract until June 2027 with the Spanish club. The transfer reportedly commanded a €5 million fee, with a 50% sell-on clause in favour of Dynamo Kyiv.[7] [8]
Tsyhankov got his first call-up to the senior Ukraine side for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Turkey and Kosovo in October 2016 but did not appear in either match.[9] He made his senior debut in Ukraine's World Cup qualifying match against Finland the following November, coming on in the 83rd minute.[10]
