Chelsea has entered the competition to sign AIK winger Zadok Yohanna, joining Newcastle United and Brighton in pursuit of the 18-year-old. Brighton was reportedly close to finalizing a transfer following a verbal agreement with AIK but awaits approval from Yohanna's camp. Meanwhile, Newcastle has submitted a bid of €24 million (£20.7m) for the player, surpassing Brighton's offer of €23m. Yohanna has made an impact in Sweden with two goals in seven appearances this season and recently earned his first call-up to the Nigerian national team.
