The Daily Record reported that Cerezo Osaka have completed the loan deal for Kusini Yengi. He has moved on loan for the rest of the season.

Kusini Yengi has flown to Japan to finalise a loan move to Cerezo Osaka. According to interim boss Peter Leven, who provided confirmation on Thursday, Yengi is speaking to a club in Japan. Leven also stated that the situation is still in progress and that he is uncertain whether anything has been concluded.

Kusini Yengi has chosen to move to Japan on loan to join Cerezo Osaka. Yengi is hopeful the move can revive his career after a difficult time with Aberdeen, and getting into the Australian team for the FIFA World Cup is a key consideration for the player. According to news.com, Yengi turned down a move to League One in order to move to Japan on loan.

Kusini Yengi, a 27-year-old striker for Aberdeen who joined from Portsmouth last summer, is in talks with Cerezo Osaka. The J-League club is discussing a loan deal for the Australian international that would last for the remainder of the season. It is reported that Yengi had multiple options in Japan but prefers Cerezo Osaka. This preference is partly because of the club's Australian coach, Arthur Papas, who is familiar with the player from his time in the A-League. The forward has not scored a league goal for the club in four appearances since moving to Scotland. The Australian international has earned 11 caps and scored 6 goals for his country, and his contract with Aberdeen is valid until May 2028. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €400k. Additionally, several English clubs, such as Rotherham United and Wigan Athletic, have recently been linked.
