Egyptian Premier League leaders, Pyramids FC, have expressed keen interest in acquiring the services of Stephane Aziz Ki.

The Tanzanian champions were embroiled in a heated moment with Mauritius referee Dahane Beida, believing they had scored a crucial goal.

He thought he had given his side the dead against Mamelodi Sundowns in the quarter-final second leg after his strike seemed to cross the goal line before it bounced back into Ronwen Williams' arms.

Competition for the midfielder's signature is fierce, with Zamalek SC, Al Ahly SC, Raja Athletic Club, and Orlando Pirates also reportedly expressing interest.

Negotiations are said to be underway, with the Burkina Faso international's representatives seeking a signing-on fee of $300,000 (R5.7 million), as reported by iDiski Times.

All eyes will be on Aziz Ki in the upcoming weekend clash against rivals Simba SC in the Kariakoo Derby at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium. The outcome of this highly anticipated match could significantly influence the title race, with Yanga currently sitting atop the standings with 55 points from 21 games, while Simba SC trails behind in third place with 46 points, as reported by the Citizen.
