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

On 14 June 2017, he signed a 3-year contract with FC 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 FC SKA-Khabarovsk 7 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. 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 11 May 2018, he was included in Russia's extended 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.[7] On 3 June 2018, he was included in the finalized World Cup squad.[8] 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 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.[12]
