Swedish club AIK have confirmed there have been interests in youngster Zadok Yohanna after his super start to the new season.

Eighteen-year-old winger Zadok crowned a five-star performance with the winning goal for AIK to beat Halmstad 2-1 on the opening day of the season last weekend.

The buzz from such a sensational start has attracted the interests of clubs, according to AIK recruitment manager Miika Takkula.

“He has started the season well so it is obvious that there is interest from outside, which is positive for the player and for the club, said Takkula.

“But now we are just focused on helping him develop even more. There is still room for improvement.”

When Fotbollskanalen asked if he has received many questions about Zadok from agents, scouts and club representatives, he turned around and laughed heartily.

“Let’s say there is interest,” Takkula replied.

The phone has run hot, quite simply.

The recruitment manager did not want to talk about individual clubs that are scouting/showing interest, but when asked if these are big clubs, he calmly stated: “It is obvious that clubs have noted that he has done well with us, and that he has an interesting profile.”

Have there already been bids for him or is it too early for it to be that concrete?

“Hehe, as I said earlier, there is interest. That’s what I can comment on,” Takkula answered and smiled again.

The Finn said he feels confident that the young winger will handle the upheaval well, saying he sees no risk of him floating away.

“It helps that we have an attitude that is about the collective. Our head coach talks all the time about the collective performance and being part of a collective,” he assured.

Falconets of Nigeria have received a major boost ahead of today’s crucial U20 World Cup clash against China after Benfica striker Janet ‘Semenya’ Akekoromowei rejoined the squad.

Nigeria have been in a tug-of-war with Benfica over the striker’s release for the World Cup.

She was the first player to arrive in Poland for the tournament only for her Portuguese club to order her back to base after claiming they did not clear her for the competition.

The Falconets lacked fire power when they fell 2-0 to European champions Spain in their opening group game and Semenya, who has been capped by both the Super Falcons and Flamingos, will now be expected to be thier main goals threat.

China re top of the group after a 5-0 bashing of debutants New Caledonia.

Al Ittihad striker George Ilenikhena, who could be called up for Super Eagles forthcoming 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea Bissau, has been rewarded for his fine form in Saudi Arabia with the Goal of the Week.

One of his two goals in the 2-1 victory over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr won him the top prize.

In the absence of injured Victor Osimhen, Ilenikhena, who was born in Lagos but previously played for the France age-grade teams, could well be poised for his Super Eagles debut later this month.

He posted on his Instagram page a photo of him fully kitted in Super Eagles colours posing besides an imposing eagle.

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle liked the post.

Eric Chelle has convinced the 20-year-old striker to change international allegiance to the Super Eagles after following him while he was still playing in France with AS Monaco.
