Pihlström lined up as Yohanna replacement
With Zadok Yohanna closing in on that record €22-23 million move to Brighton, AIK are already working on his successor. Degerfors winger Elias Pihlström has emerged as the prime candidate to fill the void on the flank (1) (2). The 18-year-old Nigerian's departure feels inevitable this summer, and Pihlström represents a domestic solution who knows Allsvenskan. No bid has gone in yet, but the discussions are reportedly underway.
Sales first, signings second
Recruitment chief Miika Takkula has laid out the summer strategy plainly: AIK need to sell before they can buy (3). That means the Yohanna deal isn't just a headline, it's the key that unlocks whatever squad reshaping the club can do. For a team sitting 10th after 10 matches and coming off that 3–0 home collapse against Sirius, it's a precarious position. The money is coming, but the timing is tight, and the squad already looks thin.
