Watch for yourself... 5mins+ clip

Consider it your Crash course on "Intro to Zadok".



Mujtahida:
I checked the profile of Zadok and I read that he's from Bauchi. Got his football education in Kaduna. Is he going to be another Tijani? Another Ahmed Musa?

Never heard of him until yesterday when I read rave reviews on X. I was excited but semid4lyfe's post dampened my joy a bit.

We desperately need an effective winger from the right. Chukwueze has really not owned that position. So, I really want Zadok to even be better than the hot reviews I've been reading.

He has one rare quality that you can't find in modern wingers!
He can use his head, and does not need unnecessary step overs to beat his man!
Papi85:
⚪ Newcastle United continue to explore the talent market.

📋 Magpies expected to strengthen their attack this summer, with several shortlists already drawn up.

🇩🇿🇸🇪 Anis Hadj Moussa (Feyenoord) and Zadok Yohanna (AIK) are among the names being monitored. #NUFC #mercato

That aerial ability of Zadok is very uncommon in wingers. A huge bonus skillset in the lad's arsenal. And yes, he beats his man with less touches & unpredictable body feint angles.

May he not be a flash in the pan like one Henry guy or Imoh Ezekiel.

In the short term I think Femi Azeez could be a potential upgrade. His performances against Zimbabwe and Jamaica, albeit weaker opposition give me hope.

Zadok has promise but I would like to see how he does with the u21 and u23s first.

Hmm. Bright flashes but still has a long way to go in terms of decision making especially. Hope he ends up with a better career than his skillset mate Chukwueze
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:27pm
Yes, Chelsea are in. But it is only because they are trying to cut off the middlemen and get a talent that will cost mega millions in a few seasons. Their plan no go work.

They have an army of U21s they have not given chances. Zadok and his reps wont head there surely.

Chelsea can return and line up other elite clubs when Zadok is worth 75 or 95million. grin

🚨📈 Understand Chelsea have now also entered the race for Zadok Yohanna. #CFC

Newcastle’s proposal is currently understood to be the highest.

Brighton, however, are still hoping to secure the player’s commitment. Verbal agreement 100 % done.

How come scouts from Yurope will see our players but our own NT from U17 to U23 won't see them? This is why our youth teams are struggling cos we are not calling up our best.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 6:38pm
I can understand the reservation here but I think we dont appreciate enough how strong that lad is now from a physical standpoint at 18 and the fact that he is still maturing.

Brighton and RB Leipzig have arguably the best scouts in England and Germany respectively so if they both show strong interest in a talent, then there is much more to that talent than the eyetest can explain. Zadok is gonna be huge.

Tochukwu Nnadi Starts!!!

Midfield of Ndidi, Onyeka and Nnadi.

Onyedika benched. A sign of Nnadi's rise within the Main team.

Amen, not trying to douse your enthusiasm o, I want nothing but the best for him too. Na only prayer I just make o. Even outside of 9ja, we have seen too many young players with huge potentials just inexplicable fizzle out, likes of Bojan, Ravel Morrison, Fred Ado, Joao Felix etc. May Zadok grow beyond our expectations of him.

Attack of Adams, Moffi and Simon.

CB pair is Ogbu and Fernandez.

LB is Bruno. RB is Bewene.

Maduka Okoye in Goal.

Oh, Chelsea in the race? Haha...
They don't want to go back to Brighton later and buy the player at an exorbitant price, just like they did with:

Moises Caicedo
Marc Cucurella
Robert Sánchez
Joao Pedro



Just kidding

You are right on Femi Azeez. He may not be as skillful and flashy as Zadok but he brings more to the team and is more productive, judging by the eye test.

🔸Azeez delivers better quality passes and crosses.

🔸He is also positionally more versatile and a better fit for multiple tactical formations. He can play on the right, the left or the Lookman role through the middle,

🔸He is ambipedal. You gats watch am closely to know he is naturally left footed cos he uses his right almost as well, kinda like Dembele, unlike Zadok who is too left footed and "elese kan".

🔸It seems he also has better workrate, marks more and covers more ground on the pitch. In modern football, there are no primadonnas. Everyone must mark, press, run, close space, defend corners etc. Shebi we all see how Diego Simeone dey criticize Lookman say hin gats up him workrate? Na so modern football be and Eric Chelle also demands the same workrate from the Super Eagles players.

🔸Lastly, we can argue that Azeez has more professional football under his belt, has had long term exposure to better training, better conditioning, better coaching, and has proven himself in a better, tougher and more competitive league.

Still, I disagree with you on Zadok passing through the U21 and U23. In football if you:re good enough, you're old enough. The coaches of the U_21/U-23 will populate the squads with carpenters who will only pull Zadok down to their level and make him appear like am otu.

Also, there's nothing developmental about our U21 and U23 teams because they only meet occasionally. His development should continue at his European club and he should be invited to the Super Eagles directly based off his performances in AIK. Make hin come play with the big boys to learn one or two.

You are actually on point my good man. Kidding or not, e go happen.... Chelsea and other elite clubs will line up for him in a few years time so make them sit out this one and return with 95million in 2-3 yrs.

They cannot and will not escape it. Lol
