Nigerian teenager Zadok Yohanna says Brighton & Hove Albion’s reputation for developing young players was what convinced him to choose the Premier League club, despite interest from some of Europe’s biggest-spending teams.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old winger agreed to join Brighton from Swedish side AIK Stockholm on a five-year contract until June 2031 in a move that will be completed when the transfer window opens on June 15.<\/p>\n

The fee was undisclosed, although British media reports valued the deal at around \u00a321.5 million.<\/p>\n

Brighton announced the signing after beating off competition from Newcastle United, Chelsea, RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and several other clubs that tracked the Nigerian prodigy.<\/p>\n

In his first interview with the club after signing, Yohanna pointed to the club’s track record of nurturing young talent as the deciding factor for his choice: “Development.<\/p>\n

“The way they develop players, because I watch Premier League games a lot, so I know the teams that use young players and Brighton is one of them.<\/p>\n

“They are really good at developing young talents.”<\/p>\n

Yohanna’s position was echoed by his agent, Andrei Balmos, who revealed that the player turned down more lucrative offers elsewhere to secure a move to the south coast club.<\/p>\n

“We had bigger offers,” Balmos told Greek publication England365. “From Premier League clubs and from Saudi Arabia as well.<\/p>\n

“But we had to respect the player’s wishes. He simply wanted to join Brighton.”<\/p>\n\n
