Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates now face missing out on a major target who has consistently drawn links to the Soweto giants.

Over the last two seasons, teams across the continent have widely touted the Burkina Faso international as one of Africa’s top talents.

His impressive performances for record Tanzanian champions Young Africans have reportedly drawn interest from a host of major clubs. This includes those in the Betway Premiership.

The likes of Mamelodi Sundowns have been a destination for the Ivory Coast-born attacker. But now, he appears ready to make a move to North Africa.

Aziz Ki will be joining Wydad 

Young Africans forward Stephane Aziz Ki is reportedly on the verge of joining Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club. 

Botola Pro League giants are preparing to sign Aziz Ki on a two-year deal. This publication believes that their former head coach Rulani Mokwena played a huge role in getting the Yanga forward to join the three-time CAF Champions League winners.

Chiefs and Pirates also linked to Yanga star

Aziz Ki was also heavily linked with Kaizer Chiefs and Pirates in the recent transfer windows. But none of those potential moves materialised. As he went on to score five goals in nine CAF Champions League appearances for Young Africans. 

The Burkinabe footballer reportedly earns a monthly salary of R358 460. This makes him the highest-paid player in the Tanzanian League. His annual salary is R4 301 520, which means Wydad are offering above this.

Aziz Ki’s signing for Wydad is seen as part of their efforts to strengthen the squad ahead of the Club World Cup.
