Record bid accepted for Yohanna
AIK have accepted a bid of around 270 million SEK for 18-year-old winger Zadok Yohanna, and Chelsea and Newcastle are now battling for his signature (2). Brighton were previously in the frame with a €22–23m offer, but this accepted bid takes things to another level entirely. For context, that would shatter any previous AIK sale by a massive margin. Yohanna is the Nigerian talent who has exploded onto the scene this spring, and losing him mid-season is a brutal blow to a squad already reeling.
Wilson signs until 2029
In a rare piece of good news, AIK have tied down breakout defender Stanley Wilson to a new contract running through 2029 (1). Sporting director Takkula admitted the 19-year-old has "surprised everyone" with his rapid rise this spring. Securing him long-term is a smart move, especially with so many other departures looming.
Guidetti: Thomassen scared the players
John Guidetti has weighed in on the ongoing turmoil at AIK, saying head coach Thomassen's approach frightened the squad (3). It is a telling comment from someone inside the setup, and it feeds into the narrative of a team struggling for confidence after that 3–0 collapse against Sirius.
Fan reactions
The Yohanna news has split the fanbase. Some are resigned to selling at that price, others are furious that yet another key player is leaving mid-season after Celina's confirmed exit. The mood is grim, and many are questioning what the squad will even look like when the window closes. Read the full thread here.
