The transfer of Nigerian teen wonder Zadok Yohanna from AIK of Sweden to English Premier League side Brighton was one of the top stories of the summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeira.com reports.
Zadok spent just 18 months in Sweden before earning the move to Brighton. A huge leap for the Ikon Allah Academy graduate who has now put himself in the spotlight ahead of the new season in England.
Former Brighton midfielder Warren Aspinall, speaking on the Albion Unlimited podcast, felt the club’s fans had every reason to be optimistic.
“It’s a little bit of a scalp because two other big clubs in England were chasing him in Chelsea and Newcastle, so they got ahead of them which is very good,” said Aspinall.
“It might be the right price and the going rate for an up-and-coming, good player.
“Have we got another diamond to polish up? That’s what we’re looking for – these rough diamonds to polish up and sell on for big money”, he stated.
