He is the record holder for most goals scored in the Russian Premier League with 147.[1]

Dzyuba made his senior international debut for Russia in 2011. He represented the nation at UEFA Euro 2016, the 2018 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2020.

Club career

Dzyuba was born in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union, on 22 August 1988. His father, Sergey, is from Poltava Oblast, Ukraine and worked as a policeman, while his mother, Svetlana, is from Tsivilsk, Chuvashia and worked at a grocery store in Moscow, where she met his father.[2][3][4]

He attended Spartak Moscow's football school and started playing for the team's reserves in 2005.[5] In 2006, he first played for the first team in a Russian Cup match against FC Ural, replacing Roman Pavlyuchenko in the 85th minute. He had his first substitute appearance in the Russian Premier League in the 12th round against Saturn Moscow. He had 7 substitute appearances in that season, but did not score.[6]

On 7 August 2009, Tom Tomsk signed the striker on loan until December 2009.[7] In the 2013–14 Russian Premier League, Dzyuba scored 17 goals while loaned to Rostov.[8]

In 2015, he was signed for Zenit Saint Petersburg by André Villas-Boas.[9][8] In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League, Dzyuba managed to score a total of six goals in five consecutive matches.[10]

On 31 January 2018, he joined Arsenal Tula on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.[11] He became the joint top scorer of the 2019–20 Russian Premier League with 17 goals, tied with his teammate Sardar Azmoun.[12] That season he also provide the most assists for a second season in a row.[13] On 25 July 2020, he scored a late penalty to hand Zenit the 2019–20 Russian Cup.[14] On 7 August 2020, he scored the first goal in a 2–1 victory over Lokomotiv Moscow to win the 2020 Russian Super Cup.[15]

On 2 May 2021, he scored twice as Zenit secured their third title in a row in a 6–1 victory over second-place FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[16] On the last match day of the 2020–21 league season on 16 May 2021, he scored 4 goals against FC Tambov, bringing his total to 20 and overtaking his teammate Sardar Azmoun (who had 19 goals) as the top goal scorer.[17][18] On 16 October 2021 in a game against FC Arsenal Tula he scored his 100th goal for Zenit.[19] On 29 October 2021 in a game against FC Dynamo Moscow, he scored his 144th goal in the Russian Premier League, becoming the league's record holder for the number of goals scored.[1]

International career

Dzyuba was a part of the Russia U21 side that was competing in the 2011 European Under-21 Championship qualification.[20] He made his national team debut on 11 November 2011 in a friendly against Greece. He was called up to the provisional squad for UEFA Euro 2012.[21] He was not included on the finalized squad that Dick Advocaat chose for the competition.[22]

After the 2014 World Cup, which Dzyuba also missed with Fabio Capello preferring Aleksandr Kokorin and Aleksandr Kerzhakov instead, he started to be called up regularly during the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying. He scored his first goal against Liechtenstein on 8 September 2014, his side's final goal in a 4–0 rout of the minnows at the Arena Khimki.[23] Exactly a year later, he scored four goals in a 7–0 win over the same opponents in the reverse fixture;[24] he ended the campaign as Russia's top goalscorer with eight goals as they qualified for UEFA Euro 2016.[8]

On 11 May 2018, he was included in Russia's extended 2018 FIFA World Cup squad,[25] and on 3 June, he was included in the final edition.[26] He came on as a substitute in the opening game on 14 June and scored the third goal of a 5–0 win over Saudi Arabia.[27] He continued his impressive performance by scoring a goal in the second match that Russia beat Egypt 3–1, sending Russia to the knockout stage for the first time. In the match against Spain in the Round of 16 on 1 July, he converted a penalty minutes before half-time, making the score 1–1. Dzyuba was then substituted in the second half and Russia eventually won the game 4–3 on penalties.[28]

After the retirement of Sergei Ignashevich and Igor Akinfeev from the national team, Dzyuba became the team's captain.[29] On 9 June 2019, he scored four goals in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against San Marino which ended in a 9–0 home rout, with Russia recording their biggest ever win while he took his international tally up to 20 goals.[30] On 10 October, he scored his 23rd international goal, overhauling fellow Roman Pavlyuchenko in the tally.[31]

On 8 November 2020, Dzyuba was dropped from the national team ahead of the Nations League matches against Moldova, Turkey, and Serbia, after an explicit video depicting him masturbating leaked and went viral.[32]

On 11 May 2021, he was included in the preliminary extended 30-man squad for UEFA Euro 2020.[33] On 2 June 2021, he was included in the final squad.[34] He played the full match in Russia's opening game against Belgium on 12 June 2021 as Russia lost 3–0.[35] He played 83 minutes in Russia's second game against Finland on 16 June 2021 as Russia won 1–0, and assisted on Aleksei Miranchuk's winning goal.[36] On 21 June, he played all 90 minutes of Russia's final game against Denmark, scoring Russia's only goal from a penalty kick. They lost 4–1, and Russia were eliminated from the competition.[37] However, with that goal against Denmark, he equaled Aleksandr Kerzhakov's record of 30 goals as all-time top scorer of the national team.[38]
