Nigerian youngster Zadok Yohanna could be on the verge of a move to Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion ahead of the summer transfer window, Afrik-Foot reports.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at Swedish club AIK, after he joined just last year and has recorded nine goal contributions across all competitions this season.
His impressive performances have attracted the attention of several of Europe’s top clubs, with scouts regularly monitoring his progress and it now appears only a matter of time before he leaves AIK.
Zadok Yohanna’s future has been uncertain in recent weeks due to the level of interest he has attracted from major European clubs, raising questions over whether he will remain at AIK beyond the summer.
As per reports from Florian Plettenberg on X, Brighton have already reached a verbal agreement with the player and are now in negotiations with AIK over a transfer fee.
Afrik-Foot understands that the Premier League club have stepped up their efforts to secure Yohanna’s signature and are pushing strongly ahead of rival clubs.
However, the Swedish side are understood to value the Nigerian youngster at around €30 million. If the deal is agreed at that price, Yohanna would become the most expensive departure in the history of Swedish football.
RB Leipzig also remain firmly in the race and continue to monitor the situation closely, although they are yet to submit an official bid. The German club value Yohanna at around €20 million, which falls below AIK’s asking price.
