Fifa have granted Saido Berahino permission to switch allegiances from England to Burundi, the East African country’s FA announced.
The Stoke City striker fled his war-ravaged country aged 10 to seek asylum in the UK, joining his mother and siblings in Birmingham.
And he has appeared for six different youth levels for England, starting from the U16s to the U21s between 2009 and 2015.
Scorer of 24 goals in 47 appearances for the Young Lions, Berahino was handed his first national team call-up in November 2014 for a Euro 2016 qualifier and friendly encounter against Slovenia and Scotland respectively.
