Zadok Yohanna Ranked 80th in Golden Boy 2026 List

Zadok Yohanna, a 19-year-old Nigerian footballer, has earned a place in the top 100 of Tuttosport's prestigious Golden Boy award for 2026, ranking 80th. This recognition underscores his rising profile as one of Europe's exciting young talents.

Yohanna completed a record-breaking transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion from the Swedish side AIK Stockholm during the summer, signing a five-year contract that runs until June 2031. He is currently ahead of his Brighton teammate Babi Kostoula, who is ranked 83rd.

During his time at AIK, Yohanna made a significant impact, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 18 appearances. He has also been named in the Super Eagles squad by coach Eric Chell for the 2025 United Cup, although AIK did not release him for the tournament due to it falling outside FIFA's international match window.

The final list for the Golden Boy award will be unveiled in November, with players ranked based on their performances and achievements.
