Club career
Born in Champigny-sur-Marne, Aiki began his career playing for Bry FC and RC Joinville. In 2020, he joined Saint-Étienne.[1] 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.

On 8 June 2022, Aiki signed his first professional contract with Saint-Étienne, a deal lasting into 2025.[3] He became the first player at the club born in 2005 to sign a pro contract.[4] 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.[5][6] At the age of 17 years and 35 days, he became the youngest player to score a league goal for Saint-Étienne.[7]
International career
Aiki received his maiden call-up to the France U17 national team in November 2021.[8] In 2022, he was included in the team's squad for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Israel.[9] During France's second group stage match against Bulgaria, Aiki scored a goal that contributed to his team's 4–0 victory.[10][11] France went on to win the tournament.[12]
