The mother of Stephane Aziz Ki, Yanga's attacking midfielder, has revealed that the way Wananchi played was a big reason for his son to choose Yanga despite having an offer from their rival Simba
In a special interview with Yanga TV, Mama Aziz revealed how Yanga President Engineer Hersi Said was able to convince the talented star to join Yanga
Engineer Hersi traveled to Morocco to talk with Aziz Ki and after their conversation, his registration process started step by step until he joined Yanga
"After playing with great success for two years at ASEC Mimosas, four clubs made an offer for Aziz, one from Egypt, one from Morocco and two from Tanzania"
"He wanted to play in Egypt so that he could be seen and later go to Qatar because that was his dream knowing that he would get money. He said he plays football well but he has nothing in his hand, he wants him to play football and earn money"
Engineer Hersi Said traveled to Morocco to meet with Aziz and they talked about the possibility of signing him but he could not sign the contract. He came back and we consulted with other people and they advised that there is great discrimination in Arabia, so we turned down Egypt's offer and Morocco remained Simba and Yanga""Aziz said he had played with Simba Sc when he came to Tanzania with ASEC Mimosas but he didn't like their style of play, so he started following Yanga and saw that they were playing well and he was impressed by their style of play and their tactics on the field, at the end of the day he chose Yanga"
"He didn't choose Yanga because of money, because if he wanted money he would have gone to Egypt or Morocco who had a bigger offer than Yanga, he chose Yanga to develop his talent and be more visible," he said
Despite not being at his best, his first season with Yanga was good as he scored nine goals, ranking second in the Yanga squad behind Fiston Mayele who scored 17 goals
Aziz Ki has started this season well so far with two goals in the Premier League, scoring a goal and one assist in the previous Champions League match, also scoring a goal in the Community Shield matches
