Kusini Yengi

Kusini Yengi of Cerezo Osaka was born in Adelaide, Australia on 15 January 1999 (age 27).

Kusini Yengi is an Australian striker, born on 15 January 1999 (age 27), whose senior career has taken him from Adelaide United to Cerezo Osaka.

His most productive league spell came at Adelaide United in 2020-21, when he scored four goals in 16 appearances. That remains the clearest attacking return on his record, modest enough, but useful context for a forward whose career has not been built on heavy scoring numbers.

Yengi is now with Cerezo Osaka. In 2025 he has not made a league appearance, though he has played four times in the J1 100 Year Vision League. Across all competitions for Cerezo Osaka, he has four appearances and no goals.

His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his career is that of an established professional still looking for a stronger run of first-team football and a more consistent scoring record.
