AIK’s Verdict On Winger

“Good one‑on‑one and strong in the air. Fantastic mentality. I won’t talk about transfer records, but we value him (Yohanna) highly,” Takkula declared.

“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 was recently named in Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming Unity Cup in London, but injury and club commitments will rule him out of the invitational tournament.
