Sabuhi Abdullazada
Quick Answer
Sabuhi Abdullazada made his Azerbaijan Premier League debut for Sumqayıt’s first team against Kəpəz on 2 December 2017, having come through the club’s own academy, and has since become the squad’s most valuable player (€1.50m) — a central midfielder.

- No experience abroad — He has never played abroad and has not been tested in a different football culture.
