He also played 12 times for England U21s and was named in a senior squad by Roy Hodgson in 2014 but did not play.

Berahino has spent much of the last five years outside of English football, featuring for Belgian sides Zulte Waregem and Charleroi and most recently Cypriot outfit AEL Limassol.

In the middle of those moves he also spent one season in League One with Sheffield Wednesday, scoring nine goals in 36 games.

Now he has moved out of Europe for the first time after penning a deal with Rajasthan ahead of their new season.

Club chairman Krishan Kumar Tak said: “We are excited to welcome Saido Berahino to Rajasthan United FC.

“His experience in top-flight football, including over 100 appearances in the Premier League, brings a new level of quality and professionalism to our team.

“This signing is a statement of our ambition and a clear indication that we are here to compete at the highest level.

“We believe Saido’s presence will not only strengthen our squad but also inspire our young players and fans across the country.”
