Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion are reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign highly-rated Nigerian youngster Zadok Yohanna from Swedish side AIK.
According to reports from Sky Sports, Brighton are currently leading the race for the talented winger despite strong interest from several clubs across Europe, including teams in the Premier League, Germany, and Spain.
AIK are said to be demanding a transfer fee in the region of €20 million for the Nigerian prospect, whose performances this season have attracted widespread attention.
Brighton are believed to be pushing to finalise the deal quickly and could wrap up negotiations before the end of the week as they look to beat off competition from rival clubs.
The Seagulls have built a strong reputation in recent years for identifying and developing young talents into top-level players, making the move an exciting prospect for the Nigerian youngster.
Yohanna has enjoyed an impressive campaign with AIK so far, scoring two goals and providing three assists in just seven league appearances. His pace, creativity, and attacking flair have made him one of the standout young players in the Swedish league this season.
The potential move to the Premier League would mark a major step forward in the winger’s rapidly rising career and further highlight the growing influence of Nigerian talents across European football.
