Headline: Aberdeen Striker Kusini Yengi Heads to Sanfrecce Hiroshima on Loan
Aberdeen striker Kusini Yengi has moved to Sanfrecce Hiroshima on loan, with the Japanese club having an option to secure a permanent transfer.
The Australian forward joined the Dons from Portsmouth a year ago but has managed to find the net just once in 10 appearances since then.
Yengi, who is 27 years old, spent part of the previous season on loan at Cerezo Osaka and will make his return to Japan for the upcoming campaign.
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson commented, “This is a good opportunity for Kusini. Competition for places in forward areas is strong, and together we felt that a loan move to Sanfrecce Hiroshima, where he can play regularly, is the right step. They also have an option to make the transfer permanent, which provides clarity for everyone moving forward.”
