Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of highly-rated Nigerian winger Yohanna Zadok in a record-breaking transfer from Sweden.
The ambitious Seagulls moved swiftly to secure the services of the 18-year-old, handing him a five-year contract after he successfully passed a routine medical examination.
According to multiple reports, the deal is worth a guaranteed €28 million, with a further €2 million in performance related add ons.
The transfer sets a new benchmark as the most expensive sale in Swedish football history, eclipsing the previous record of €20 million.
Brighton officially confirmed the long anticipated move after winning a fierce race for the teenager's signature.

His pace, creativity and attacking flair have made him one of the standout performers in the league despite his young age.
The transfer further highlights Brighton's growing reputation for identifying and developing emerging stars, with the club investing heavily in a player viewed as one of the brightest prospects to emerge from Sweden in recent years.
