Rotherham United are interested in Kusini Yengi, an Aberdeen striker and Australian international, who last played in England for Portsmouth. Matt Hamshaw's side needs attacking reinforcements due to fitness issues with their current strikers, but they are competing with five other EFL clubs to sign the 26-year-old. Among the interested clubs are the League One sides Stockport, Wigan, Blackpool, and Stevenage, who are all in better league positions and could be more attractive destinations.
Yengi was prolific for Portsmouth during their 2023/24 League One title-winning season, but injuries limited his appearances in the Championship the following year. Given Yengi's recent injury history, Rotherham may be cautious about a potential deal. Yengi has 11 caps and 6 goals for Australia and his contract with Aberdeen runs until May 2028. He has made 4 appearances without scoring in the Scottish Premiership this season. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €400k.
