Club career

[edit]
Kuzyayev in action for Zenit in 2017.

He made his debut in the Russian Second Division for Karelia Petrozavodsk on 23 July 2012 in a game against Spartak Kostroma.[2]

He made his debut in the Russian Premier League for Terek Grozny on 15 May 2014 in a game against Rubin Kazan.[3]

On 14 June 2017, he signed a three-year contract with Zenit Saint Petersburg.[4] On his Zenit debut on 16 July 2017, he scored the first goal of his professional career, opening scoring in a game against SKA-Khabarovsk seven minutes after coming into the game as a half-time substitute.[citation needed]

His contract expired at the end of the 2019–20 season and he became a free agent and wanted to play abroad. After missing the 2020 Russian Super Cup and the first 10 games of the 2020–21 Russian Premier League, on 6 October 2020 he returned to Zenit and signed a new three-year contract.[5]

On 12 July 2023, at the end of the games for Zenit, Kuzyayev signed a contract with the French Le Havre. The agreement is for two years.[6]

International career

[edit]

Kuzyayev made his debut for Russia national team on 7 October 2017 in a friendly game against South Korea.[7]

On 11 May 2018, he was included in Russia's extended 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.[8] On 3 June 2018, he was included in the finalized World Cup squad.[9] He appeared as a second-half substitute in every group stage game, before starting both knock-out stage games - the Round of 16 defeat of Spain and the quarterfinal shoot-out loss to Croatia.[citation needed]

He scored his first national team goal on 19 November 2019 in a Euro 2020 qualifier against San Marino.[citation needed]

On 11 May 2021, he was included in the preliminary extended 30-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020.[10] On 2 June 2021, he was included in the final squad.[11] He started Russia's opening game against Belgium on 12 June 2021, but had to be substituted after colliding head-to-head with Timothy Castagne after 25 minutes of play (Castagne suffered double eye socket fracture in the collision and left the Euro 2020 due to that).[12] He recovered for the second game against Finland on 16 June and played a full game in 1–0 victory. He started again on 21 June in the last group game against Denmark as Russia lost 1–4 and was eliminated, as Kuzyayev was substituted halfway through the second half.[13]
