Nigerian duo Yohanna, Okike make EPL list of youngsters to watch

Brighton & Hove Albion have signed young Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna for £21.5 million, making him the most expensive player in the club's history. Yohanna, who impressed in Sweden last season with five goals and four assists in 18 appearances, is considered one of the most exciting prospects on a list of 20 emerging talents expected to shine in the 2026-27 Premier League season.
