The most talked about Nigerian player the past one week is relatively unknown winger Zadok Yohanna of Swedish side AIK after his impressive debut in the Allsvenskan.
We exclusively reported his transfer eight months ago , and also his impressive performance in pre season and Cup games in the build up to his debut over the weekend in the league.
Zadok who was spotted from Kaduna where he represented Ikon Allah Football Academy wasted no time in showing what he is all about. He netted the winner to hand his team a 2-1 win over Halmstad.
Aside his goal he was a thorn in the defence of Halmstad operating from the right. He struck the ball twice and completed all his attempted dribble in the course of the game.
His performance has already alerted the whole of Europe and Scout Herish Sadi, who discovered Zadok Yohanna in Nigeria while playing for Ikon Allah FC has now revealed how it all went.
“I was really impressed when I watched him play as a number 10 and on the wing. There were a lot of scouts there, and we had to move fast. I called AIK’s CEO and said; How would a hundred million Krona (10 million Euros) feel? You need to close this deal right away. If he doesn’t turn out well, fire me. Fire me without compensation, I said.
“I negotiated with the president and managers there. I actually closed the deal that same evening, and he officially became an AIK player”.
