Ajax has strengthened their squad with the experienced player, who is familiar with the team's playing style. Tsyhankov joins Ajax after a successful spell at Girona, where he played under current Ajax coach Míchel Sánchez. He has 67 caps for the Ukrainian national team. The right-winger is known to enjoy playing on the inside, which could add a new dimension to Ajax's attack. Technical director Jordi Cruijff has stated that Tsyhankov will be eligible to play as soon as possible. Ajax has also been working to bring in other new players, including a left-winger to replace Mika Godts and a controlerende middenvelder and extra centrale verdediger.
