Born in Nalchik, Russia when his father was playing for Spartak Nalchik,[1] but grew up in Velyka Novosilka, Donetsk Oblast, Talovierov is a product of the Shakhtar Donetsk and Arsenal Kyiv youth academies. His first trainer in Shakhtar Donetsk was Vyacheslav Kozlov.[2]

On 1 February 2023, Talovierov signed for Austrian Bundesliga club LASK on loan until the end of the season.[3] On 5 February 2024, LASK made the transfer permanent and signed Talovierov until the summer of 2027.[4]

On 31 January 2025, English side Plymouth Argyle, who play in the EFL Championship, announced the signing of Talovierov for an undisclosed record fee on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[5] He made his debut the following day against West Bromwich Albion.[6]
