AZIZ KI SAYS NO TO ORLANDO PIRATES
A full international for Burkina Faso, young Africans SC player Stephane Aziz Ki turned down a pre-contract offer from Pirates. Stephane Aziz Ki, an Ivory Coast native, has 12 caps and 2 goals for the Burkinabes. The 28-year-old has contributed directly to 20 goals in the Tanzanian Premier League this year. In 12 CAF Champions League appearances, he has also tallied two goals and two assists. This individual is aware of how to get there.
I don’t plan to leave Yanga because I haven’t accomplished the objectives that brought me here. Regarding his future following his links with the Pirates, Aziz Ki stated, “This club, which I love with all my heart, still owes me, and even money cannot fill my for this club,” as reported by The Citizen.
The Bucs contract with Kermit Erasmus expires in June 2024. The club will make a decision over Soccer-Laduma’s future shortly, according to a source close to the player, but they are leaning toward letting go of the former Feyenoord, Rennes, Lens, Sundowns, and SuperSport great. Over the course of two spells, he has made 117 appearances with the Sea Robbers, contributing 19 assists and 26 goals. He won a Nedbank Cup and three DStv Premiership titles during his time in South Africa. This may be an inadequate overview of a man whose lengthy career was once discussed in the same breath as future World Cup champion Di Maria.
In September 2022, Erasmus left Sundowns to join the Buccaneers, sparking rumors that he would be moving to Kaizer Chiefs. The seasoned striker returned to South African football in 2019 after spells in France, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Where he ends up in 2024–2025 is anybody’s guess, although it’s unlikely he’ll still be a Buccaneer.
