AIK issue transfer decision on Dortmund-linked Zadok Yohanna

Swedish Allsvenskan side AIK are set to decide on the future of Nigerian teenager Zadok Yohanna at the end of the current campaign, Afrik Foot reports.

The 18-year-old winger has emerged as an object of interest from several clubs, with Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayer 04 Leverkusen all closely monitoring his development.

Yohanna has scored four goals and provided three assists in nine games for AIK this season.

AIK to decide Zadok Yohanna’s future this summer

The Swedish club are under no immediate pressure to sell the Bauchi-born youngster, given he only just joined in 2025 and is contracted until 2029.

While he’s currently valued at around €500,000, fresh developments suggest AIK could now demand between €20–25 million to part ways with their prized asset.

As per Footy Africa, a source from Ikhon Allah Academy, where Yohanna honed his skills from the age of 12, confirmed that the final call rests entirely with AIK, although their priority is the youngster’s development, over any financial gain.

“I discovered him at age 11 and I worked with him for like seven years. He’s a good player and I’m happy with his development.

“Any transfer would be determined by AIK, but the plan is for him to continue playing and focus solely on football. When the transfer window open in the summer, AIK would decide,” Ikhon Allah Academy chairman Ayi Mohammed said.

Among the interested parties, Borussia Dortmund are believed to be particularly keen.

Dortmund’s reputation for nurturing young stars makes them a natural fit for Yohanna’s profile.

The Bundesliga side’s structured pathway for emerging talent could offer the Nigerian a structured transition into elite European football, like they’ve done in the past with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Jadon Sancho and Christian Pulisic.

RB Leipzig are also weighing their options. With potential attacking departures on the horizon, Leipzig view Yohanna as a possible long-term replacement for Yan Diomande, who has caught the eye of Liverpool, considering they’ll be without Mo Salah next season.

Ultimately, a transfer banks on AIK’s decision, and Yohanna’s performances leading up to the summer transfer window. AIK are currently 6th on the Allsvenskan table, five points behind league leaders Sirius.
