Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, who played for Arsenal and other Premier League clubs, was previously involved in drug smuggling. The footballer himself confessed to this.
Lent.az reports with reference to foreign media that the former Premier League player was carrying marijuana worth £600,000 while leaving Thailand.
He was arrested at London Stansted Airport last September and faced drug smuggling charges.
The court will determine the 34-year-old Englishman's sentence later.
