€24m Move Looms as Newcastle Outbids Brighton for Super Eagles Winger Zadok Yohanna
Newcastle United have lodged a €24 million bid, including performance bonuses, to sign 18-year-old Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna from AIK. Their offer edges out Brighton’s prior €23 million proposal and could set a new Allsvenskan transfer record. Yohanna has shone in Sweden with his explosive dribbling, frequent box entries and high expected-goals numbers. Scouts note his finishing and passing still need refinement, and he remains most dangerous on the right wing. Clubs view him as a high-risk, high-reward talent. Newcastle’s high-press system and Brighton’s development model each offer a distinct pathway for his growth. His ability to adapt, improve his consistency and expand his positional range will be key to success. AIK is in active negotiations and a resolution is expected soon, with Newcastle reportedly the favoured destination. Nigerian fans are eagerly watching to see how this Super Eagles prospect will fare in the Premier League.
