Club career edit

Londrina edit

Born in Ouagadougou, Yaya started playing for local side Majestic FC before moving to Brazil with Londrina in 2015.[2]

On 6 March 2016, Yaya made his debut for Londrina, coming on as a second-half substitute for Paulinho Moccelin in a 1–1 Campeonato Paranaense home draw against Atlético Paranaense. On 8 August, after only two further appearances, he was loaned to Iraty until the end of the year.[3]

Yaya scored four goals during his loan spell, and started to feature regularly for Londrina upon returning. He scored his first goal for the club on 16 April 2017, netting his team's only in a 2–1 away loss Atlético Paranaense.[4]

Santos edit

On 1 November 2017, after a trial period, Yaya signed for Santos until April 2018, and was initially assigned to the B-team.[5] On 15 January 2019, after a failed trial at Ponte Preta the previous year, he was loaned to Bangu until the end of the 2019 Campeonato Carioca.[6]

International career edit

Yaya was first called up for Burkina Faso national team in May 2017.[7] He made his full international debut on 2 September 2017, replacing Cyrille Bayala in a 0–0 away draw against Senegal.[8]
