Another attacking prospect on the radar – BVB keen on Zadok Yohanna | OneFootball

With Justin Lerma (Independiente del Valle), Borussia Dortmund have already signed a promising attacking talent for the new season. Although their own academy also has plenty to offer in this category, led above all by Samuele Inacio and Mathis Albert, BVB are still continuing to scout internationally for young attacking players with great development potential.

Following speculation about Dortmund’s interest in 18-year-old American Aiden Hezarkhani (Real Salt Lake City), another youngster is now being linked with BVB. According to a report by Sky, Borussia are one of several Bundesliga clubs keeping an eye on Zadok Yohanna, who has drawn attention at Swedish traditional club AIK.

RB Leipzig and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are also said to have the 18-year-old winger on their radar. He moved to Sweden in the summer of 2025 from the Ikon Allah Football Academy in his native Nigeria. While Yohanna, who feels most comfortable on the right flank, was introduced gradually after his arrival in the far north, he has already made seven competitive appearances in 2026, recording four goals and three assists.

Contract in Sweden until 2029

If Yohanna continues the progress he has made in recent weeks, not only would a regular starting spot at AIK be beyond doubt, but concrete enquiries from Europe’s top leagues would also come as no surprise. A contract running until the end of 2029 would probably do little to prevent a swift departure if suitably lucrative offers were to arrive, especially as AIK have increasingly defined themselves in recent years as a club focused on developing and advancing players.

Whether BVB will make a concrete move for Yohanna remains open and will certainly depend on various factors. On the one hand, it will depend on how the youngster continues to perform, but on the other hand also on several other personnel matters, as Yohanna would need to have a realistic prospect of first-team appearances in Dortmund. Because he would presumably not be eligible to play for the U23s.
