Brighton Signs Nigerian Teen Wonderkid Zadok Yohanna for £21.5 Million Record

The 18-year-old right winger from Nigeria joined Brighton from AIK Stockholm on a five-year contract until 2031, shattering the Allsvenskan transfer record as the priciest deal for a Nigerian teenager. After dazzling in Sweden with five goals and four assists in 18 games, Yohanna chose Brighton's youth development over bids from Chelsea, Newcastle, Dortmund, and Leipzig. Rejected early by Nigeria's youth teams for lacking physical maturity, his rise from Kaduna pitches now inspires fans back home, with potential to shine under coach Fabian Hürzeler alongside stars like Caicedo and Ferguson
