He scored 15 goals in his first season, including a memorable hat-trick against Manchester United. Rebrov’s skill, speed, and goal-scoring abilities earned him the nickname «The White Pele» among the Spurs fans.

He quickly became the captain of the team and led them to numerous domestic titles, including four Ukrainian Premier League titles and three Ukrainian Cups.
