Club career
Having developed in the academy of Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain from the age of five,[2] Yaisien moved to the United Arab Emirates in September 2019, signing a three-year deal with Al Ain.[3] After limited opportunities in his first season, he was linked with a move to Hatta Club in January 2021,[4] and then Egyptian club Smouha at the end of the 2020–21 season,[5] though he ultimately did not join either.
International career
Yaisien was called up to represent the Egypt U23s in a friendly match against the Netherlands U21 in March 2019.[6] The following month, he declared his intention to represent Egypt at international level.[2][7] Having spent years in the UAE, he later stated that he was open to representing the United Arab Emirates as a naturalised player, in case he didn't get called by Egypt.[8]
Personal life
Yaisien was born in France to an Egyptian father from Minya Governorate and Algerian mother. He is the younger brother of the footballer Abdallah Yaisien.[7][9]
