The Ukarine international moves to Roma for a fee rising to €38m.

The striker joins Roma as last season's LaLiga Pichichi Trophy winner as the competition's top goalscorer.

"Last season was fantastic for me, but the time had come to take a step forward," Dovbyk said. "(The pressure) will be different. Girona are a small team in Spain; Roma are an important entity in Italy with a lot of history.

"It won't be the same. I know the pressure will be there, but football without pressure isn't football."
