The club noted that Pyshchur, who plays for the youth national team of Ukraine, became one of the revelations of the U-20 World Cup held in Chile, where he drew attention as one of the tallest players in the tournament and due to his effectiveness in attack.
In his first match of the tournament against South Korea, he scored a goal with a powerful header. At Girona, he will play on the same team as Vladyslav Krapyvtsov, with whom he also plays for the Ukraine U-21 youth national team,
The club also emphasized that the forward is of "large stature, strong in aerial duels, capable of holding off defenders and creating chances in the penalty area."
