Nigeria right winger Zadok Yohanna, currently at Swedish side AIK, is being linked with a move to Premier League club Newcastle United, with the 18-year-old’s situation attracting interest amid uncertainty over his contract status in Solna.
The Allsvenskan youngster, listed at a market value of €500k, has emerged as one of AIK’s most intriguing attacking prospects, operating primarily as a right winger but cutting in on his preferred left foot. Data from Transfermarkt shows no fixed contract expiry date for Yohanna at AIK, prompting speculation that Newcastle could look to drive a bargain or move quickly should he edge towards free‑agent territory.
Born on 29 June 2007 and standing at 1.84m, Yohanna has been fast‑tracked into senior football in Sweden’s top flight, wearing the number 36 shirt for AIK. The current rumour, dated 6 June 2026, carries an unspecified probability (“?”), underlining that talks, if any, remain at an exploratory stage rather than a completed deal.
Newcastle’s interest comes after a recent Allsvenskan outing in which Yohanna featured for AIK, though full official statistics from that match – including the exact scoreline, opposition and his individual contribution – have not been comprehensively published and remain unclear. His performances in attack for AIK, rather than one standout fixture, appear to have placed him on scouting radars.
Yohanna, who holds only Nigerian nationality, has been used mainly on the right flank in an advanced attacking role, with his pace and left-footed profile fitting the modern Premier League template for inverted wingers. With a current valuation of €500k, he would represent a low-cost, high-upside addition compared with typical fees in England’s top tier.
Whether the interest develops into a formal offer remains to be seen, but a move to St James’ Park would mark a dramatic step up for Yohanna and could be a defining moment in shaping his reputation and long-term potential at the highest level.
