Scout recalls how he put his job on the line to sign Zadok
The scout who discovered new sensation Zadok Yohanna has revealed how he practically put his job on the line for Swedish club AIK to sign the youngster.
The scout, Herish Sadi, recalled: “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.”

Despite his huge profile in world football Victor Osimhen has yet to sign a boot endorsement deal.
He has worn boots by adidas and Nike, but he has not committed formally with any of these major equipment brands.
A close source to the striker said: “It doesn’t interest him at all.
“He just matches his boots to the kits he is wearing.”
It was further reported that an agent for New Balance approached Osimhen for a boot deal, but nothing came out of this.
It was said the money offered was not interesting to him.

A former Super Eagles forward has cautioned against a big-money transfer for youngster Zadok Yohanna.
Zadok, 18, has taken football in Sweden by storm after he scored the winning goal in an opening day victory for AIK in the Swedish top league.
However, Peter Ijeh, who played for several top Swedish clubs including Malmo FF and was also capped by the Super Eagles, has warned that it is early days for the young winger to venture outside Sweden.
Ijeh said there is no need for him to rush a big transfer and rather he should establish himself first at AIK before he makes the big move.
“It is too early to take such a step ,” Ijeh told Soccernet.
“He needs to establish himself and be consistent, and in this way strengthen his CV. Everything else will fall into place then.”
AIK are asking for no less than 15 million euros for the electrifying winger, but several other reports have now suggested they are seeking between 20 and 25 million euros.
