32-year-old Chornomorets midfielder Ivan Bobko commented on the transfer on loan to Karpaty Lviv:
“I am very happy to be in the Karpaty, in this wonderful team. I have a desire to help the Lions reach the Premier League. There will be no problems with adaptation, because I am familiar with new partners. In particular, I have long known the other two winter rookies, Alexei Khoblenko and Alexander Ilyushchenkov. As well as the captain of Karpaty Denis Kozhanov. Therefore, there are no problems.
The most important thing for me is that the team’s head coach Andriy Tlumak wanted to see me in Karpaty. This motivates me a lot. My task is to go to every game and give my all on the field. Our goal is to win every fight. The negotiations did not last very long, we quickly found a common language, and I am glad to be here.”
