At least two are reported to have watched him, with Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side one of the clubs monitoring him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t know there were scouts here,\u201d he said after the game. \u201cI\u2019m just focusing on myself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I have dreams. But for now I\u2019m 100% focussed on AIK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He has everything\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Yohanna wears the No.36 jersey that Alexander Isak once wore with AIK. The Nigerian is a very different player, but those in Sweden are convinced that he will go on to have a career at the top level of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYohanna is an exceptional player. I love watching him play. He plays like he plays on the street,\u201d Degerfors coach Henok Goitom told the Swedish outlet, revealing that he told his defenders to double up on the teen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is exceptional because he is a winger and you don&#8217;t think he would be good in the air, but he is good with his head. He is good with his shooting. And the more experience he gets, the more dangerous he will become. Because he has everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also has a cockiness: &#8216;Just give me the ball, and I will run&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that, if he keeps learning, that he can go to the top five leagues in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spurs\u2019 Bergvall success could encourage Yohanna bid<\/p>\n<p>Spurs do have a recent history of raiding Sweden\u2019s top-flight, having signing Lucas Bergvall from Djurgarden in February 2024 in a deal initially worth \u20ac10 million mark but with the potential to roughly double this fee.<\/p>\n<p>Bergvall has been a roaring success with Tottenham, leading to rumours that Arsenal and Chelsea could make a move for him in the summer should Spurs go down. He now has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of \u20ac54.9m, so if he were to leave, it would be at a huge profit.<\/p>\n<p>The success that Tottenham have had with Bergvall will embolden them as they track Yohanna ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>De Zerbi is clearly eager to get Spurs\u2019 business done as quickly as possible, with <a title=\"an agreement in principle already in place with Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footballtransfers.com\/en\/transfer-news\/uk-premier-league\/2026\/04\/arsenal-transfer-news-marcos-senesi-hijack-opportunity-arteta-cant-afford-to-miss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">an agreement in principle already in place with Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi<\/a>, who will be a free agent at the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>Related stories:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"De Zerbi reveals Tottenham \u2018problem\u2019 that could see him sacked\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footballtransfers.com\/en\/transfer-news\/uk-premier-league\/2026\/04\/tottenham-news-de-zerbi-reveals-spurs-problem-that-could-see-him-sacked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">De Zerbi reveals Tottenham \u2018problem\u2019 that could see him sacked<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Transfer Rumours: Anderson &#039;destined&#039; for Man City move as Man Utd face second hijack from rivals\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footballtransfers.com\/en\/transfer-news\/uk-premier-league\/2026\/04\/transfer-rumours-elliot-anderson-destined-man-city-move-man-utd-face-second-hijack-rivals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Transfer Rumours: Anderson &#8216;destined&#8217; for Man City move as Man Utd face second hijack from rivals<\/a><\/p>\n<p> The FootballTransfers app <\/p>\n<p>Check out FootballTransfers&#8217; new app for all of football&#8217;s big storylines, transfer rumours and exclusive news in one convenient place directly on your mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>The FootballTransfers app is available on Google Play and in the Apple App Store.
