Stade Rennais are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian winger Zadok Yohanna following his impressive performances for AIK Stockholm this season.
The 18-year-old attacker has become a regular starter for AIK after joining the club from Ikon Allah FC of Kaduna last summer.
Yohanna recently earned his first call-up to the Nigeria national football team, but AIK declined to release him for international duty, citing his recovery from injury.
According to a report by Live Foot, Rennes are seriously considering a move for the Nigerian youngster.
The Ligue 1 club reportedly see Yohanna as the next ‘Ademola Lookman’ and are prepared to invest heavily in his development.
AIK’s head of recruitment, Miika Takkula, confirmed there is growing interest in the player.
Takkula said: “Good one-on-one and strong in the air. Fantastic mentality. I won’t talk about transfer records, but we value him highly.
“There’s a lot of interest in the player and if he continues to develop and perform in the same way, we’ll get offers that we have to consider.”
Yohanna has scored two goals and provided two assists in seven league appearances this season.
The teenager has also previously been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur, RB Leipzig and Real Madrid.
After missing the Super Eagles’ Unity Cup camp in London, Yohanna has also sat out AIK’s last two matches because of injury.
