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.[3]

Santos

On 1 November 2017, after a trial period, Yaya signed for Santos until April 2018, and was initially assigned to the B-team.[4] 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.[5]
