This stunning Playboy model dubbed the challenger to the sexiest 2018 FIFA World Cup fan has upped sticks to London.
Images of 25-year-old Maria Liman at last year’s World Cup in her home country propelled the Russian model to stardom.
She also hit the headlines when she posed topless to honour Russia’s star goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev’s heroics in the penalty shootout against Spain which saw her county progress to the quarter-finals.
At the time, Liman said “Akinfeev is the best” and called the CSKA Moscow shot-stopper “superman”.
The jaw-dropping model recently moved to London where she has shared snaps of her visiting the bustling capital’s landmarks for her army of 530,000 Instagram followers.
In one photo, the curvy Russian is seen posing in front of a black cab in St James’s Park while wearing a tight-fitting black dress and berets.
Other images show the Playboy model next to a red telephone box in Mayfair and outside London’s Natural History Museum.
On Wednesday, Liman shared the final score of Chelsea’s 1-2 Champions League away win over LOSC Lille, suggesting she has become a ‘Blue’.
No doubt fans of Frank Lampard’s side are hoping to see the busty model at Stamford Bridge many times this season.
The beautiful brunette rose to fame after modelling for magazines like Playboy and Maxim and she has worked as a host and fashion correspondent for the Russian network FashionTV.
Liman won the Miss World Next Top Model Russia pageant in 2015, the same year she featured as a cover girl in Playboy and became the Playmate of the Year in Ukraine.
