Newcastle United are now competing to sign Zadok Yohanna.

The exciting Nigerian winger is much in demand though.

Zadok Yohanna plays for AIK, the club that Alexander Isak started out at in Sweden.

Sky Sports say that their information is Newcastle United have held talks with the Swedish club “and numbers have been discussed” but that a formal bid from NUFC is now awaited.

Born in Nigeria, the now 18-year-old winger signed for AIK on 29 June 2025 , the day he turned 18.

The right winger agreeing a four year contract.

Sky Sports report that Brighton are already in advanced negotiations with AIK to try and sign Zadok Yohanna and other clubs around Europe are also interested.

AIK are said to be looking for around £20m to sign the exciting 18-year-old and now a case of whether Newcastle United can get a deal done.
