Dynamo Kyiv
Born in Nahariya, Israel, where his father Vitalii Tsyhankov played as a footballer, Tsyhankov moved to Ukraine when he was very young.[when?] 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]
Girona
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]
