  "account": "Zadok Yohanna made Premier League history as the fourth-youngest Nigerian to take the field for a top-flight English club. The 19-year-old Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder came on in the 55th minute, replacing Mats Wiever, and contributed to his side's dominant 4-0 victory over Aston Villa at the Amex Stadium on Sunday. Yohanna's initial appearance comes after he signed with Brighton from AIK Sweden this summer in a deal that could reach £26 million, with the latter figure subject to add-ons. At 19 years and 55 days old, Yohanna joins the likes of Victor Anichebe, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Shola Ameobi as the youngest Nigerians to grace the Premier League pitch.",
