Kusini Yengi has joined Japanese side Sanfrecce Hiroshima on loan for the remainder of the season, and the club holds an option to make his move permanent. Dons manager Stephen Robinson said this is a good opportunity for Kusini. Robinson stated that competition for forward positions is strong, and that together they felt a loan move to Sanfrecce Hiroshima where he can play regularly is the correct course of action. He added that the option to make the transfer permanent provides clarity for everyone.

Rudy Galetti reports that Kusini Yengi has signed his contract with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, which completes his loan move from Aberdeen and includes an option to buy. The report also indicates that the Japanese club will officially announce the Australian striker’s arrival soon.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima are close to signing Aberdeen striker Kusini Yengi. It is understood that the two clubs have agreed to a season-long loan for the Australia international, which includes an option to buy. Yengi, 27, is scheduled to fly to Japan for a medical and to complete the necessary paperwork. The move will be a return to the J League for Yengi, after he spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Cerezo Osaka. Cerezo Osaka did not activate their option-to-buy clause.
