Chelsea Want To Sign The 23-Year-Old German Talent: Good Pick? | OneFootball

Bild via Sport Witness has reported that Karim Adeyemi is willing to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window. The player wants to play in a different league after leaving the Bundesliga, and that has attracted the attention of multiple clubs from the Premier League.

The player has changed his agent in the January transfer window, which should indicate that he wants to leave the German club, and failure to do so has made him change his agent. Chelsea want to sign the player in the summer transfer window, and they will be facing competition from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.

The Blues don’t have a shortage of attacking talent. However, they want to amass more talented players in their squad and want to go for big trophies in the next season. They had already made an offer for the player in the January transfer window, but a move to Stamford Bridge did not prove to be successful.

The young German professional footballer is known for his electrifying speed and agility on the pitch. Playing primarily as a forward or winger, he possesses exceptional dribbling skills, allowing him to navigate through defenses with ease. His explosive pace makes him a significant threat during counter-attacks. Hence, he will definitely be a good signing for the Blues.

Why do the Blues want him?

Adeyemi also showcases remarkable composure in front of goal, combined with a keen eye for scoring opportunities. His versatility allows him to adapt to various tactical setups, while his work ethic and determination highlight his potential as a future star in football.

Adeyemi has scored two goals in 12 matches so far in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season. Overall, Adeyemi’s goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.3. Moreover, his total G/A (goals + assists) is 5 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.74 per 90 minutes. His non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.38.

Adeyemi will certainly be ready to move to the Premier League. Arsenal have been linked with his signing as well. Hence, the Blues have to fight it out with their archrivals in order to sign him in the summer. It remains to be seen if Enzo Marseca and co. can bring Adeyemi to the Stamford Bridge or not.
