Akhundzade has transferred to Columbus Crew from Azerbaijan Premier League side Qarabag, signing a contract until June 2029.
ANALYSIS
Akhundzade got some opportunities to shine with his previous club recently, scoring three goals over 13 league appearances (seven starts), in addition to one assist across six UEFA Champions League matches. He has also been selected by his national team 13 times, featuring in World Cup qualifiers and international friendlies. He could be involved in the Crew's rotation, offering offensive strength either at center-forward or on the right wing. His arrival puts pressure on players like Diego Rossi, Ibrahim Aliyu and Jamal Thiare in the competition for attacking roles.
