Rising Nigerian football sensation Zadok Yohanna has revealed that his favourite song is "Over Dem" by Afrobeats superstar Davido, offering fans a glimpse into his personal interests as he prepares for the next chapter of his career.
The 18-year-old winger made the revelation during a light-hearted interview, where he also expressed his love for Nigerian Jollof rice and named Argentine legend Lionel Messi as his all-time favourite footballer.
"My favorite song is Over Dem by Davido," Yohanna said, adding that Nigerian Jollof rice remains the best in the world.
The youngster's comments come amid growing excitement over his reported move from Swedish side AIK Stockholm to English Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal said to be worth around £21.5 million. The proposed transfer is expected to keep the talented winger at the club until June 2031.
Born in Bauchi State, Yohanna has enjoyed a remarkable rise from grassroots football in Nigeria to becoming one of the country's most promising young exports in Europe. His pace, dribbling ability and attacking flair have attracted widespread attention from scouts and football fans alike.
His admiration for Davido, one of Africa's biggest music stars, alongside his respect for Messi, reflects a blend of Nigerian culture and global football influence that resonates with many young athletes.
Following the interview, the footballer's comments quickly gained traction on social media, with many Nigerians praising him for remaining connected to his roots despite his rapid rise in the game. Some fans even joked that Davido's songs should become part of Brighton's dressing-room playlist.
As Yohanna prepares for life in the Premier League, supporters will be hoping the exciting winger brings the same confidence and energy associated with his favourite song onto the pitch when the new season begins.
