Meet Brighton’s 18-Year-Old Zadok Yohanna: ‘They Call Me Mahrez’
Brighton’s new Nigerian prospect, Zadok Yohanna, has revealed why his former teammates in Nigeria nicknamed him “Riyad Mahrez.” He says the comparison comes from his dribbling style and ball control. The 18-year-old completed a £21.5m transfer from AIK Stockholm this summer. In a light-hearted video, he explained he prefers the Mahrez tag over comparisons to Lamine Yamal or Michael Olise. Yohanna praised Mahrez’s close control and flair, saying he sees himself in the Algeria star’s silky feet and ability to glide past defenders. He’s determined to make an impact in the Premier League. Nigeria fans are already dreaming of him joining Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman in the Super Eagles attack. If he lives up to the hype, Brighton may have unwrapped one of their most exciting Nigerian talents yet.
