Sikan started playing football in FC Polissya Zhytomyr as a child. Then becoming teenager, he came to the academy FC Karpaty Lviv.
He made his debut for FC Karpaty Lviv in the Ukrainian Premier League in a match against FC Zorya Luhansk on 12 August 2018,[1] but then played in competitions for reserves. Later that season (2018–19) Sikan was loaned out to FC Mariupol.
Just before turning 18, he came to FC Shakhtar Donetsk in 2019. For Shakhtar Sikan debuted with home victory against his former club Karpaty on 4 August 2019. That season he played 7 matches for the senior side and made a debut at continental club competitions on 26 November 2019 in an away tie against Manchester City. Struggling to get on a scoreboard, Sikan was placed back in competitions among reserves.
For 2020–21 Sikan was loaned again to Mariupol for the whole season where he made his debut in the Ukrainian Cup competitions. His Premier League goals count also started after return to the team from the near Sea of Azov city.
On 31 January 2022, he joined Hansa Rostock in the 2. Bundesliga on loan until the end of the season.[2]
On 25 of October in a Champions League game against Celtic with the score at 1-1 he missed an open goal with the goal at his mercy after a pass across the penalty box from Mykhaylo Mudryk, it has been considered one of the worst misses of all time in football.
Sikan was a part of the Ukraine national U-20 football team, that won the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[3]
Sikan scored his first goal for Ukraine on 1 September 2021 against Kazakhstan, the day of his debut for the team, coming on as an 82nd minute substitute. The match ended in a 2–2 draw.[4]
