He began his career with Spartak Moscow, debuting in 2006 and making 166 appearances and scoring 38 goals. He also had two loans each at Tom Tomsk and Rostov, winning the 2013–14 Russian Cup with the latter. In 2015, he joined Zenit.

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

Club career

Dzyuba was born in Moscow, Soviet Union, in 1988, to a Ukrainian father from Poltava Oblast and a Russian mother. He attended Spartak Moscow's football school and started playing for the team's reserves in 2005.[1] 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.[2]

On 7 August 2009, Tom Tomsk signed the striker on loan until December 2009.[3] In the 2013–14 Russian Premier League, Dzyuba scored 17 goals while loaned to Rostov.[4]

In 2015, he was signed for Zenit Saint Petersburg by André Villas-Boas.[5][4] In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League, Dzyuba managed to score a total of six goals in five consecutive matches.[6]

On 31 January 2018, he joined Arsenal Tula on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.[7]

He became the joint top scorer of the 2019–20 Russian Premier League with 17 goals, tied with his teammate Sardar Azmoun.[8] That season he also became top assist giver for a second season in a row.[9] On 25 July 2020, he scored a late penalty to give Zenit a victory in the 2019–20 Russian Cup final.[10] On 7 August 2020, he scored the first goal in a 2–1 victory over Lokomotiv Moscow to win the 2020 Russian Super Cup.[11]

International career

Dzyuba was a part of the Russia U-21 side that was competing in the 2011 European Under-21 Championship qualification.[12]

He made his Russia national football team debut on 11 November 2011 in a friendly against Greece. He was called up to the provisional squad for UEFA Euro 2012.[13] He was not included on the finalized squad that Dick Advocaat chose for the competition.[14]

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.[15] Exactly a year later, he scored four goals in a 7–0 win over the same opponents in the reverse fixture;[16] he ended the campaign as Russia's top goalscorer with 8 goals as they qualified for UEFA Euro 2016.[4]

On 11 May 2018, he was included in Russia's extended 2018 FIFA World Cup squad,[17] and on 3 June, he was included in the final edition.[18] 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.[19] 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. Artem was then substituted in the second half and Russia eventually won the game 4–3 on penalties.[20]

After the retirement of Sergei Ignashevich and Igor Akinfeev from the national team, Dzyuba became the team's captain.[21] 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.[22] On 10 October, he scored his 23rd international goal, overhauling fellow Roman Pavlyuchenko in the tally.[23]

Controversies

Dzyuba became involved in a controversy due to his harsh reaction to the controversial "Glory to Ukraine" video made by Croatian player Domagoj Vida during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His reaction received praise from the Russian media, but his actions were depicted in a negative way in the Croatian media, due to its relations to the Ukrainian crisis, in spite of Dzyuba himself has Ukrainian roots.

On 8 November 2020, Dzyuba was dropped from the Russia national team ahead of matches against Moldova, Turkey, and Serbia, after an explicit video depicting him masturbating leaked and went viral.[26]
