Former AIK talent Zadok Yohanna is reportedly earning a staggering annual salary of approximately 36 million kronor (£3.6m) at Brighton, making him one of the highest-paid teenage players in world football.
The 18-year-old Nigerian's move to the Premier League club represents the biggest sale in Allsvenskan history, with the young forward now earning between 2.5 and 3 million kronor per month at the English top-flight side.
Yohanna's journey to Brighton represents a remarkable rise for the teenager, who will turn 19 on June 29th. According to FotbollDirekt, the Nigerian grew up in challenging circumstances in his homeland, lacking access to proper football boots and even footballs during his formative years.
The record-breaking transfer fee paid by Brighton underlines the exceptional potential that European scouts saw in Yohanna during his time in Swedish football. AIK, one of Sweden's most successful clubs, have now set a new benchmark for player sales from the Allsvenskan.
Yohanna's massive salary package reflects Brighton's commitment to securing one of European football's most promising young talents, with the club clearly viewing the teenager as a long-term investment for their Premier League ambitions.
