Brighton summer signing Zadok included in Golden Boy top 100 list

Brighton & Hove Albion's summer signing Zadok Yohanna has earned a place in the latest update of the 2026 Golden Boy rankings, securing a spot in the top 100.

Zadok completed a high-profile move to the Seagulls this summer, signing a five-year contract that runs until June 30, 2031.

The 19-year-old joined the Premier League club after a series of outstanding performances for Swedish Allsvenskan side AIK Stockholm, establishing himself as one of the most exciting young talents in European football.

Before completing his move to Brighton, Zadok scored five goals and provided four assists in 18 appearances for AIK.

The Nigerian also earned international recognition after head coach Eric Chelle named him in the Super Eagles squad for the 2025 Unity Cup.

However, AIK did not release him because the tournament fell outside FIFA's international match window.

The forward was also managing an injury, while negotiations over his transfer to Brighton were ongoing.

Joining Zadok in the Golden Boy top 100 are Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha, Atalanta's Honest Ahanor, SV 07 Elversberg's Francis Onyeka and Juventus newcomer Jeff Ekhator.

Zadok is ranked 80th in the latest standings, ahead of Brighton teammate Babis Kostoulas, who sits in 83rd place.
