Brighton have completed the signing of winger Zadok Yohanna from AIK Stockholm despite rival offers from Chelsea and Newcastle United.
The £21.3million fee is a record sale for the Swedish top flight.
The 18-year-old Nigerian has signed a five-year contract at the club until June 2031 and is due to fly over for a medical.
The deal will be completed when the transfer window reopens.
Head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: ‘I’m looking forward to working with Zadok. Having seen his games and his attributes, he is a player that can impact games in the final third.

‘He’s still young and will need time to adapt to the club and Premier League, but he’s an exciting player to watch and he brings the kind of creativity we know our fans will enjoy.
‘He’s dynamic, has pace and likes to take players on. His attributes and ability will be a real addition to our attacking options.’
Brighton opened talks with AIK last weekend before Newcastle and Chelsea proposed offers around £21m but Yohanna sees a first team pathway with the south coast club.
