Easah Suliman will play league football in Azerbaijan after joining Sumgayit FK.
Sky Sports News last week revealed that Suliman, who was recently named in a first-of-its-kind British South Asians in Football Team of the Season, had flown to Azerbaijan to complete the transfer.
The central defender has penned a two-year deal with Sumgayit, bringing an end to his three-and-half-year spell with Portuguese top-flight side Vitoria Guimaraes.
Aston Villa academy graduate Suliman is a former England youth captain, who shot to fame after latching on to a ball from Mason Mount to score the opener in the final when England lifted the U19 European Championship back in 2017.
The 25-year-old made his Villa debut under former manager Steve Bruce in a League Cup tie against Wigan in 2017.
Suliman made his international debut for Pakistan last month, featuring in their match with Kenya in Mauritius, three days after Grimsby Town midfielder and fellow British-Pakistani Otis Khan made his international debut for the Shaheens.
West Brom academy graduate and Pakistan international Rahis Nabiis training in Cyprus as he ponders his next destination, Sky Sports News has been told.
