Club career

Having developed in the academy of Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain from the age of five, Yaisien moved to the United Arab Emirates in September 2019, signing a three-year deal with Al Ain. After limited opportunities in his first season, he was linked with a move to Hatta Club in January 2021, and then Egyptian club Smouha at the end of the 2020–21 season, though he ultimately did not join either.

Yaisien was called up to represent the Egypt U23s in a friendly match against the Netherlands U21 in March 2019. The following month, he declared his intention to represent Egypt at international level. Having spent a year in the country, he later stated that he was open to representing the United Arab Emirates as a naturalised player.

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.
