Nigerian outlet Sports 247 claims that 18-year-old winger Shedrack Egboh will shortly arrive in Stockholm to trial with AIK. The report describes Egboh as a fast and technically gifted wide player who has already attracted interest from multiple clubs across Europe. If the trial goes well, AIK are said to be prepared to sign him later in the summer.

AIK's head of recruitment Miika Takkula has already confirmed to Fotbollskanalen that the club are actively looking for a replacement on the wing following Yohanna's departure.

The Yohanna sale is one of the biggest in Swedish football this summer. The teenager came through AIK's system and his development into a Premier League target, all within the span of one Allsvenskan season, raised eyebrows across Sweden. Now the club are hoping lightning can strike twice.

Egboh is unconfirmed and the reports come from a single Nigerian source, so caution is warranted. But the profile fits exactly what AIK are looking for.
