Islam Chesnokov, born on 21 November 1999 (age 26), is a Kazakhstan winger who plays primarily on the right for Krylia Sovetov Samara. His market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career so far has been shaped above all by Tobol. Across three seasons there, Chesnokov made 68 league appearances and scored 24 league goals, a useful return from wide areas rather than the sort of output usually dressed up as something it is not. His best league campaign came in 2024, when he scored 10 times in 21 appearances.
He is now with Krylia Sovetov Samara, where in 2026–27 he has made four Premier League appearances. At this stage, Chesnokov’s senior record is straightforward enough: a right-sided attacker whose main body of work remains his productive spell at Tobol, with his next step being tested in Russia.
