Oleg Aleksandrovich Shatov (Russian: Олег Александрович Шатов; born 29 July 1990) is a Russian professional footballer who plays as a left midfielder or central midfielder for Zenit Saint Petersburg.

Early life

Shatov was born and grew up in Nizhny Tagil, where the winter conditions made playing outdoor sports very difficult.[1] As a result, Shatov began playing futsal from the age of 14, before committing fully to association football two years later.[1]

Club career

Ural

Shatov made his professional debut in the Russian First Division in 2007 for FC Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast.[2] He was named Ural's Player of the Year after the 2010 season.[1]

Anzhi

Although Shatov was scouted by CSKA Moscow, he accepted an offer to join Anzhi Makhachkala during the 2011-12 winter transfer window. Upon joining Anzhi, Shatov was teammates with Roberto Carlos and Samuel Eto'o. Shatov earned his first call-up to the Russian men's national team while playing at Anzhi.[1] At the end of Shatov's first season, the team finished in fifth place in the Russian Premier League and suffered several changes of coaches.

Zenit

Krasnodar

On 6 February 2018, he joined FC Krasnodar on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[4]

International career

After receiving a call up by coach Fabio Capello, Shatov scored a goal in his debut for Russia, in a friendly match against Iceland which Russia won 2-0.[1]

On 2 June 2014, he was included in the Russia's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad.[5]
