Aberdeen's 27-year-old Australian striker Kusini Yengi is attracting interest in Japan following his recent loan spell at Cerezo Osaka. Cerezo Osaka decided against triggering their buy option for the forward. Both Omiya Ardija and Tokyo Verdy have now submitted offers for Yengi, but he is reportedly not keen on remaining in Japan. Yengi, who joined Aberdeen in July 2025, has a contract with the Scottish club until May 2028. He has earned 11 caps for Australia, scoring 6 goals, and made 4 appearances in the Premiership during the 2025/2026 season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €350k.
