Karim Adeyemi started his career at Red Bull Salzburg before moving to Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022. At his new home, he has managed to establish himself as a mainstay and is considered as one of the most exciting attackers in world football.

Adeyemi is having a decent season so far as he has already netted five goals and provided as many assists in 14 outings. He is averaging 1.7 shots, 1.1 key passes, and 1.9 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The German attacker can be deployed in wide areas or even as a striker. He is fast, has good control over the ball, and can provide key passes. With clinical finishing skills and solid composure, he is a quality attacker to have in the squad.
Liverpool’s interest in Karim Adeyemi is understandable as the long-term future of Mohamed Salah at Anfield is still under the radar. If the Egyptian decided to leave the club, the management will have to bring a notable name to their unit.
In whatever case, Adeyemi can be a good acquisition as he can add firepower in the final third. His versaility, pace, and other traits will be well appreciated by Arne Slot. However, the English outfit is unlikely to make an official bid in the ongoing winter window.
Liverpool will probably wait for the summer to evaluate things and then take the final call. Apart from them, Napoli are also keeping tabs on the attacker but their first priority is Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
