Aston Villa can confirm Indiana Vassilev has completed a permanent transfer to St. Louis City SC for an undisclosed fee.

The striker returns to his native USA following loan spells in recent seasons with Inter Miami.

He has also spent time on loan in the UK with Burton Albion and Cheltenham Town, winning the League Two title in 2021 with the latter.

Vassilev made six first-team appearances for Villa during his time at the club.
