Kusini Yengi

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

Kusini Yengi, born on 15 January 1999 (age 27), is an Australian striker currently with Cerezo Osaka. His market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Yengi’s most productive league spell came with Adelaide United in 2020-21, when he scored four goals in 16 appearances. That remains the clearest scoring return in the senior part of his career, modest enough but still the season that gave him a platform beyond Australia.

At Cerezo Osaka, he has not made a league appearance in 2025, though he has played four times in the J1 100 Year Vision League. Across all competitions for the club, he has made four appearances without scoring.

His career to date has been that of a centre-forward trying to establish himself outside Australia, with Adelaide providing the early foothold and Cerezo Osaka the current test.
