Swedish side AIK have informed the camp of Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna that he should pick one of either Newcastle United or Chelsea as his next destination, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
We exclusively gathered that both teams are willing to pay €30m plus five in additional payments for the 18 year old, much more than what Brighton who had earlier reached an agreement on personal terms for his signing.
Brighton’s offer of €15m plus five million in future payments was knocked off by the bid from Newcastle United, which has now been matched by Chelsea.
The ball is now in the box of the player’s camp to make a decision on where is best for him, and we were made to understand that personal terms are yet to be discussed with either clubs.
However Chelsea are expected to offer more in that regard, but sources close to the Ikon Allah academy graduate said money won’t be a factor when making his decision.
Career progression will come first and for now a move to Newcastle United seems the best option on paper, but they will still listen to Chelsea’s options regarding his career progression.
