Islamnur Abdulavov is a Russian footballer who is now playing for the Ufa club. He is a promising player, since today he is only 22 years old, he has a great sports career ahead of him. Islamnur Abdulavov acts as the center forward, however, he can also move deeper, moving to the position of the drawn forward, or even move to the right flank of the attack, giving way to the position of the central forward to another player.
Carier start
Islamnur Abdulavov was born on March 7, 1994 in Makhachkala. From the age of nine, he attended the Youth Sports School, where he spent seven whole years. When he was 16 years old, Abdulavov passed the show in Dynamo Kyiv, where he was eventually accepted into the youth academy. However, he spent very little time there - in 2011, the 17-year-old striker moved back to Russia, where he was included in his system by the Anji club, based in the hometown of Islamnur. It was there that the football player began his professional career by signing the first contract in 2012.
At first, the striker played for the club’s double, but in 2013 he waited for his debut for the main team. He played 15 matches, scoring his first professional goal in them. The following season, however, Islamnur Abdulavov did not receive any more playing practice. He entered the field only 12 times, scored two goals and remained the backup option. Naturally, this did not suit him, so when the next year he was able to play only 21 matches, almost without entering the field in the starting lineup, the striker decided to leave the Makhachkala club. He did not extend the current agreement with Anji, but instead signed a contract with Ufa.
Going to Ufa
Thus, in the summer of 2016, Islamnur Magomedrasulovich Abdulavov was in the new club. However, in “Ufa” he did not find a place for himself in the first team. In the current season, the striker entered the field only 12 times, not having distinguished himself with any scoring action. But he will still have many opportunities ahead to achieve a more impressive result. It would seem that the injury to the main striker Kehinda Fatai from Nigeria should have allowed Abdulavov to get closer to the base and play with another young football player, Vyacheslav Krotov, but Islamnur himself was injured and was eliminated before the end of this year.
Team appearances
What results did Islamnur Abdulavov show in the Russian team? His statistics in the national team are not yet impressive, as he still has not been called up to the adult team. Moreover, all the invitations that he received in youth squads did not end with a young striker entering the field. So to date, Abdulavov never once appeared in the form of the Russian team at any level, including youth. But, as already mentioned, the player is now only 22 years old, so he will still have a lot of opportunities to show himself ahead. This will probably happen in Ufa, or maybe he will be lucky in another club, which he will transfer to in case of not too impressive performances in the current team. So far, he needs to score at least one goal for Ufa.
