Newcastle and Brighton Compete for Zadok Yohanna

Newcastle United has entered the race to sign Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna, competing against Brighton & Hove Albion, who have reportedly submitted a £24 million bid to AIK Fotboll. Brighton is in advanced talks to secure Yohanna, having reached a verbal agreement with the Swedish club.

Despite this, Newcastle's interest has become concrete, with their offer including performance-related bonuses. Florian Plettenberg, a journalist from Sky Sport Germany, confirmed that negotiations are ongoing, and Brighton is pushing hard to finalize the signing.

Yohanna, who joined AIK last year, has made a notable impact, registering five goals and four assists in 18 appearances, primarily operating as a right winger. The competition for Yohanna is significant, as he could become one of the most expensive sales in Allsvenskan history.
