Newcastle Join Race for Nigerian Wonderkid Zadok Yohanna Amid Brighton Pursuit

Newcastle United have reportedly entered the battle to sign highly-rated Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna from Swedish side AIK as interest in the teenage sensation continues to grow across Europe.

According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle's interest in the 18-year-old is genuine, with the Premier League club now actively monitoring his situation ahead of a potential move.

Despite Newcastle's emergence in the race, Yohanna is believed to already have an agreement in principle with Brighton & Hove Albion, who remain determined to secure his signature.
