Karim Adeyemi has been on the radar of the best teams in Europe all his life. A failed step due to disciplinary problems in the Bayern youth teams, arrival at Red Bull Salzburg, debut with the national team, transfer to Borussia Dortmund (€30 million)… all at just 20 years old.
Style of Play
He is a very versatile player, being able to act as a center forward, second striker or as a winger. He bases his entire game on an unusual speed, acceleration, changes of pace, dribbling and great finishing.
His great handling of both feet added to the explosiveness and that he always seeks to be vertical make him unpredictable. He stands out in the counterattack, suffering a little more against teams that give up possession.
Surely his decision-making will improve over the years, giving a pass in situations where the shot is complicated or trying fewer 1-on-1 situations. This, added to the evolution of his physique in recent seasons, makes him a lethal attacker.
Injuries
No serious injuries.
Projection
RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund… of course the path chosen by Adeyemi seems the right one, if not ask Haaland. The question is what his goalscoring figures will be in the Bundesliga and whether the improvements in his game will lead him to be more influential in long possessions for his team. I expect a great performance in the coming seasons, which will make the top 5 European clubs seek to sign him immediately.
