Fyodor Mikhaylovich Smolov (Russian: Фёдор Миха́йлович Смо́лов, born 9 February 1990) is a Russian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Krasnodar and the Russian national team. He has previously played for Dynamo Moscow, Feyenoord, Anzhi Makhachkala and Ural.
Smolov is a graduate of the Master-Saturn Yegoryevsk football academy. In 2007, he joined Dynamo Moscow. On 14 July 2010, the club announced that Smolov would join Feyenoord on a one-year loan deal. Returning from loan, Smolov started 2011-2012 season as a squad player, but after 9 matchdays his impact was limited to substitute appearances. So he was loaned again, this time to Anzhi Makhachkala - initially for whole 2012-2013 season, and then for the second part of 2013-2014 season. During this time, he played with such players as Samuel Eto'o, Willian and Lassana Diarra.
On 1 September 2014, Smolov joined Ural Yekaterinburg on a season-long loan deal. Two weeks later, on his new club debut, he scored a goal in a 1-2 away loss to Amkar Perm. He played a major role in the season, providing 8 goals and 2 assists in 22 league appearances for Ural.
On 2 June 2015, Smolov signed a four-year contract with the Russian Premier League club Krasnodar as a free agent. He made his competitive debut for his new club in a 1-0 away victory over Amkar Perm in his first league match on 20 July 2015, and scored his first goal in a 3-3 draw against Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round on 6 August.
