The race for Yohanna’s signature extends far beyond the Premier League. Heavyweights such as Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham have all been linked with the teenager, while Ligue 1 side Rennes are also said to be monitoring the situation closely. His exciting style of play has made him a fixture in the notebooks of Europe’s elite scouting departments.
Despite being just 18 years old, many observers believe Yohanna has the physical and technical attributes required to hit the ground running in the Premier League. His immense potential is already backed by numbers, having racked up five goals and four assists in 12 appearances across all competitions so far this season, with just 10 rounds played in the league. While he is not yet the finished article, the prospect of developing his raw talent under Howe’s tutelage is a focal point of Newcastle’s pitch to the player’s representatives.
