Brighton & Hove Albion have identified AIK Fotboll’s Zadok Yohanna a priority target for the summer.
The Swedish club signed 18-year-old from Nigerian side Ikon Allah FA in June 2025.
He operated mainly in his preferred right-wing role and at times as wings backs. The versatile player scored five goals and contributed four assists from 18 matches for AIK Fotboll.
His league stats this year are as follows:
Appearances: 7
Starts: 7
Total minutes: 580
Goals: 2
Assists: 2
Key passes per game: 1.1
Big chances created: 2
Big chances missed: 2
Brighton now want to sign him, after other Premier League sides showed interest.
On April 12th, Sport Witness relayed news that the youngster is a Chelsea target. Later that month, we covered claims from Sweden he caught Tottenham Hotspur’s attention.
At that time, the Nigeria talked about his dream of moving elsewhere and the Seagulls could help him fulfil it this summer.
Brighton determined to sign attacker
Expressen report Fabian Hürzeler’s side are keen and are ‘preparing a monster bid’ to bring him to The Amex.
Zadok Yohanna remains one of the priority targets for the Premier League side.
Several sources inform the outlet that Brighton & Hove Albion’s expected offer is to be around €22-23m. The outlet is not clear on what would be the fixed fee and bonuses and also the payment terms.
The Allsvenskan’s record sale is €20m that Djurgårdens IF Fotboll collected from Lucas Bergvall’s sale to Tottenham in 2024. The Nigerian’s move to the Seagulls could break this record.
It’s down to the English club to find an agreement with AIK Fotboll and the player to get the deal over the line.
It’s unclear whether Brighton have made an offer yet. However, the Swedish club confirm on their official website that they have “started negotiations regarding the sale of player Zadok Yohanna.”
Contract, value and agent info
Zadok Yohanna has a contract until December 2029 and his value, as per Transfermarkt, is €500k.
Brighton & Hove Albion seem to be betting big on him and therefore, preparing to offer a fee of €22-23m.
