Nigeria right winger Zadok Yohanna of Swedish side AIK is being linked with a move to Premier League club Brighton, with the 18-year-old emerging as a low-cost attacking option reportedly valued at around €500,000.
The speculation, listed with an unspecified probability (“?”) on transfer tracking platforms, suggests Brighton are assessing the teenager as part of their longer-term recruitment planning rather than an imminent marquee signing. There is currently no indication that a deal is close, and the move remains firmly in the rumour category.
Yohanna, a left-footed right winger standing 1.84m tall, is regarded as one of AIK’s most promising young attacking players. Born on 29 June 2007, he is still in the early stages of his senior career in the Allsvenskan, where AIK have been using him primarily in wide attacking roles. His shirt number is 36.
Recent performances in Sweden’s top flight have helped draw broader scouting attention. In AIK’s latest league outing – a 1-1 draw against IFK Göteborg on 1 June 2026 – Yohanna featured on the right flank, offering direct running and width as AIK chased a late winner, though he did not register a goal or assist.
Details of Yohanna’s contract situation at AIK are unclear, with no public expiry date listed. That opacity has fuelled talk that he could become a free agent in the medium term if no extension is agreed, a factor that would further encourage interest from clubs operating in value-driven markets such as Brighton.
Yohanna has so far only represented AIK at club level in senior football and holds Nigerian nationality. With a modest market value of €500k and the potential to develop across the front line, a move to England – should it materialise – would represent a significant step up and could prove a defining moment in shaping his reputation and long-term career trajectory.
