Brighton have agreed a club-record €28 million plus €2 million add-ons to sign Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna from AIK until 2031, beating bids from Newcastle and Chelsea. The 1.84m left-footer dazzled in Sweden's Allsvenskan with two goals, two assists, and top dribbling stats across seven starts. His physicality and direct style suit manager Fabian Hürzeler's high-pressing system, echoing Brighton's success with players like Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.

This is a great news. He made the right decision by choosing Brighton over Chelsea. With the right manager and mindset, he can turn out to become one of the best wingers in the EPL within the next three years. I wish him all the best.

Chelsea guys go hate am bi enipe olorun kolo SE eda ee

Why does the article seem robotic??

I read bro was playing in Nigeria last year

For brighton to sign him for that amount, he must be very special

Na chelsea go later use 100m buy am in 2 years

Wow! What a way to start his career. Congrats to him.

Good move for both parties

You are very correct yea

Better.
Chelsea does nothing for the development and career advancement of their players. Very, very few leave that club with a better valuation than when they arrived.

See cute baby boy pray he becomes the new welbeck

Chelsea has many players at their disposal.
Signing for Brighton is the best move.
He would've more playtime than been loaned out by agbero club.

Divine speed, he was playing in Nigeria last year and got his first international contract in Sweden last year (June 29, 2025). Less than a year later, he is in the EPL.

So many aren't that lucky, Gift Orban comes to mind, his current club don even chase am.

A new star is born— watch out for this guy.

Aww... Congratulations to Yohanna. Lucky guy.
I was hoping it would be either Brighton FC or Crystal Palace, and not a heavy like Chelsea, as was being speculated in the news several days ago.
He needs to build and get used to the english league, and starting from a midlev club like Brighton is a good start. If he had gone to Chelsea, he would be benched most of the time and won't grow his skills. Omo, who does he want to bench in that team that won't have a ripple effect on the fans and the club's upcoming matches?

Congrats boy. From the streets of Kd to the world. We need them to come scout more of these guys. I have one very good forward who has been paying his local coach over here for years, running into 2.something million naira by now, and he still doesn't feel there's any link here that'll take him to Europe. I've been searching for him, ooooh.

Who has any connects?

I've heard a lot about this young guy. The international press even tagged him "Nigerian Neymar". I hope he's as good as the hype

Similar to Lamine yamal

Two goals and two assists and boom 💥.


Luck and grace must have played a vital role in his ascension.

I wish him all the best at Brighton

Tribalists will start searching for his state....!
