In an interview with iDiskiTimes, Aziz Ki spoke about his love for Mokwena's tactics and said he would love to play for a team coached by the Mzansi mentor.

The South African tactician is also reportedly considering signing Aziz Ki from Yanga SC, which shows that both parties are interested in working together.

"Honestly, I would like to play for him because of how his team plays," the Burkina Faso international said.
"I watched many of his games at [Mamelodi] Sundowns; this manager's ideology is something else; it's very admirable."

The former Asec Mimosa forward admitted that it's not a good time to discuss joining Mokwena at Wydad AC despite hoping to play for him in the future.

"I'm open to working with him in the future, but for now, it's not a good time because I'm with Young Africans, and also we have a new team," he added.
