Brighton & Hove Albion have reached an agreement to bring Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna to the club from Swedish side AIK Stockholm in a transfer valued at £21.5 million.
The highly-rated 18-year-old will sign a five-year deal with the Premier League outfit, with the transfer expected to be completed when the summer transfer window officially opens on 15 June.
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler expressed his excitement about the youngster’s arrival, describing him as a talented attacking player capable of making a difference in the final third.
“I am excited to work with Zadok,” Hurzeler said. “After watching him closely, we believe he has the qualities to influence matches with his pace, skill and creativity.
“He is still developing and will need time to settle into a new environment and the demands of the Premier League, but he is an exciting talent and a player our supporters will enjoy watching.”
Yohanna moved to AIK Stockholm from Nigeria’s Ikon Allah Football Academy and has impressed since making his debut for the Swedish club in August 2025. He has registered five goals and four assists in 18 appearances, attracting interest from several clubs across Europe.
