Premier League side, Brighton & Hove Albion, has annouced the arrival of AIK Stockholm’s high-flying Nigerian youngster, Zadok Yohanna, on a five-year deal.
Brighton beat other Premier League sides like Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle to the signature of the Nigerian.
Scouts from Brighton alerted the club about Yohanna and made the first move before other suitors.
Zadok will complete his move to the club when the transfer window reopens and it will be subject to the usual regulatory approvals.
According to the club: “The 18-year-old Nigerian, who turns 19 later this month, will join us having established himself as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe, after making a big impact in Sweden’s top division this season.”

He said, “I’m looking forward to working with Zadok. Having seen his games and his attributes, he is a player that can impact games in the final third.
“He’s still young, and will need time to adapt to the club and Premier League, but he’s an exciting player to watch and he brings the kind of creativity we know our fans will enjoy.
“He’s dynamic, has pace and likes to take players on. His attributes and ability will be a real addition to our attacking options.”
Zadok began his career at the Ikon Allah Football Academy in Nigeria before moving to Sweden in 2025, where he quickly adapted to European football with AIK.
He has made 18 appearances for AIK this season in the league and cup, scoring five goals and providing four assists.
