Maxim has been diagnosed with bone cancer and this has sadly stopped him from continuing to take part in sports, especially football and gymnastics, but he is fighting hard and still studying and playing chess.



Maxim is 9-years-old and is a big football fan, with Andrey Arshavin being his favourite player, so the Zenit legend was delighted to met Maxim and present him with a signed Zenit shirt and other gifts from the club. 

Wishing you all the best Maxim!
