Newcastle United have submitted a bigger bid, Chelsea have joined the chase, but Brighton look set to be the Premier League club who will finally get the signature of youngster Zadok Yohanna.
A source who is familiar to this transfer confirmed there has been a verbal agreement with Brighton on the player.
This was after the club agreed personal terms with the 18-year-old winger.
“An agreement is an agreement,” he simply said while not willing to give more details.
