Ayman Aiki (born 25 June 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne.

Club career

Born in Champigny-sur-Marne, Aiki began his career playing for Bry FC and RC Joinville. In 2020, he joined Saint-Étienne. During the 2021–22 season, Aiki played for the club's under-19 side, and was considered the "biggest attacking talent" in Sainté's youth academy. Despite only being 16 years old, he also participated in several reserve team matches in the Championnat National 3.

On 8 June 2022, Aiki signed his first professional contract with Saint-Étienne, a deal lasting into 2025. He became the first player at the club born in 2005 to sign a pro contract. On 30 July, Aiki made his professional debut for Saint-Étienne in a 2–1 Ligue 2 defeat away to Dijon, scoring his side's only goal after having come on as a substitute. At the age of 17 years and 35 days, he became the youngest player to score a league goal for Saint-Étienne.

International career

Aiki received his maiden call-up to the France U17 national team in November 2021. In 2022, he was included in the team's squad for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Israel. During France's second group stage match against Bulgaria, Aiki scored a goal that contributed to his team's 4–0 victory. France went on to win the tournament.
