Swansea City striker Mykola Kuharevich has joined Slovan Bratislava for an undisclosed fee.
He has signed a four-year deal with the Slovakian giants, in a move that brings the curtain down on a somewhat underwhelming spell in SA1.
The 23-year-old joined the Swans from French side Troyes for nearly £2m back in 2023, but struggled to establish himself in the Championship, netting one goal in just 13 appearances for the club in his opening campaign.
He was then shipped out on loan to Scottish side Hibernian last season, where he'd previously enjoyed a comparatively more fruitful spell the year before his move to south Wales.
The striker racked up a total of seven goals in 28 appearances in all competitions for Hibs last term, but his chances of breaking into the first team set-up at Swansea have nevertheless looked slim.
Now, he could well end up playing in the Champions League with Slovan, who recently secured their 23rd league title.

Slovan's general director Ivan Kmotrik Jr said: "We watched Mykola during his time in Scotland, where he was a guest from Swansea.
"We are acquiring an interesting alternative to the point of attack in him. He has played for the youth national teams, has experience in international football.
"Mykola uses his physical assets, but at the same time is a technically proficient type of striker. He can bring increased competition and expanded options to the point of attack for David Strelec, from whom he is typologically a little different.
"I am very happy that our negotiations have come to a successful end, and we have signed a four-year contract with Mykola."
Kuharevich himself added: "I have had the best season of my career with third place in the Scottish League.
"I am happy to accept a new challenge at Slovan.

"I know that I am coming to a big club, I have seen their matches in the Champions League.
"I managed to see Tehelné Pole and Bratislava, the stadium and the city are beautiful.
"I want to develop my strengths, score goals and be a contribution to the team. I am excited about this new chapter and I am looking forward to what lies ahead."

Everton put four Premier League stars on transfer wishlist including Kyle Walker
Everton are in need of more depth at right-back after the exit of Ashley Young, while competition is also needed for club captain Seamus Coleman, and Kyle Walker has been identified as a target Kyle Walker is leading Everton 's four-man transfer wishlist of right-backs this summer as David Moyes looks to provide competition for Seamus Coleman. Everton battled relegation last season under Sean Dyche before Moyes arrived and saved them from the drop, securing a 13th placed finish with 48 points. Moyes has inspired superb displays from the likes of Iliman Ndiaye and Beto and now he wants to bolster his squad with more quality to ensure the Toffees push on next season - with right-back seen as an area of weakness. Everton have veteran Seamus Coleman at right-back, but the club captain is 36 and the club know they need more options in that position, especially after Ashley Young departed. According to the Times, Everton have identified four right-backs who could add depth to the sign this summer, with Manchester City star Walker heading up that list. The England right-back spent last season on loan at AC Milan after telling manager Pep Guardiola he wanted a new challenge. He is not expected to stay at the Etihad this summer and Everton are among a "growing list" interested in signing him. While they have offered a one-year extension to Coleman, they still need cover at right-back and are optimistic City will be eager to offload Walker. Everton have been given hope that they could be one of the frontrunners to sign 35-year-old Walker after Milan declined the chance to sign him permanently. Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in Turkey are included in the teams keen on a move. Another option for Everton is Fulham star Kenny Tete, who will be available on a free transfer when his contract at Craven Cottage expires later this month. With Everton having limited money to spend as they prepare for a first season in their new stadium, Moyes will have to look for bargains. Former West Ham star Vladimir Coufal and former Southampton man Kyle Walker-Peters are two more targets under consideration, the report says. As Walker looks for clarity on his future, another report from the Guardian claims that he would be "enthusiastic" about joining Everton and is not looking at another move abroad after his spell at Milan. Walker has played a total of 646 career games and has won an impressive array of trophies. He boasts six Premier League titles, while he has won the Champions League, the League Cup four times, the FA Cup twice and also the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Arsenal refuse to meet Benjamin Sesko demands after 'freezing' Gyokeres move
RB Leipzig are demanding up to €100million (£86m) for Benjamin Sesko this summer – demands Arsenal are refusing to meet. Signing a new centre forward has been a top priority for the Gunners with Sesko and Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres identified as their leading targets. Arsenal have explored a move for Gyokeres but a bitter row between the Sweden international and his club has threatened to derail any move. Sesko is reportedly Mikel Arteta's first choice target to lead his attack next season but the club are still to make an official offer for the 22-year-old. Sky Sports Germany report Leipzig's asking price now stands at a fee between €80m and €100m (£69m to £86m), a price Arsenal are not currently prepared to pay. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. The club have remained in contact with Sesko's camp but there is also still no full agreement over personal terms. While Sesko is 'attracted to the possibility' of playing for Arsenal with Champions League football also on offer, the striker is said to be relaxed over the situation and will not attempt to force a move to north London. Arsenal have long-standing interest in Sesko, opting against a move in January due to a gentleman's agreement with Leipzig to allow him to stay at the German side until at least the summer. The Slovenia international was also close to leaving last summer but opted to sign a new contract, removing a previous release clause of £55m. Arsenal meanwhile have also been exploring a move for Gyokeres, who has become embroiled in a bitter feud with Sporting over a proposed transfer fee for the player. Sporting president Frederico Varandas has denied the existence of an agreement that would have allowed Gyokeres to leave the club for a fee of €60 plus €10m in add-ons this summer, much to the frustration of the striker and his agent Hasan Cetinkaya. More Trending Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, met with Sporting officials last week to discuss a deal. Arsenal's initial proposal worth an €55m (£46.8m) plus a further €10m (£8.5m) in add-ons was rejected but an improved offer was expected. However, the ongoing row between Sporting, Gyokeres and his agent and the uncertainty over what fee it would take to prise him from Lisbon has promoted Arsenal to 'freeze' their pursuit, according to latest reports in Portugal.
