Chelsea may need to offload an attacker or two to accommodate Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi, and Liverpool is also keen.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea may need to sell before they begin their pursuit of Karim Adeyemi. The Blues have a well-stacked attacking setup, particularly in the wing department, which would make it difficult to accommodate the Borussia Dortmund star man in their ranks. Liverpool is also keen on the German international.
Chelsea currently boasts one of the most talented squads in world football, and a big reason for that is their massive spending on unproven players over the last two or three years. The Blues have invested heavily in players on the rise rather than bringing in proven talent, which has been their model under the new ownership.
They are now keen on adding Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund despite having a massive stock of wide attackers in their squad. They already made a significant investment in the signings of Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho, while Joao Felix can also play the role if needed.
Hence, it makes a need for a new wide attacker not such a big necessity for Chelsea, yet they are attacked by the 22-year-old in-demand Bundesliga attacker’s form this season. Adeyemi has five goals and as many assists in all competitions while playing as an inside right winger, which has made the Blues somewhat interested in a future move.
Dortmund are not eager to sell him so soon, especially not in January, although a conversation could be had in the summer. In any case, for Chelsea to accommodate him, they may have to offload one or two wide attackers from their current squad to make space for a player of the 22-year-old’s quality next summer.
Liverpool are also keen on Adeyemi
Liverpool are interested in Adeyemi ahead of next summer as they continue to seek options that could potentially replace Mohamed Salah. The Reds are ready to pay considerably for the German international, although Dortmund are yet to name their price, which, given his form this season, will be reasonably high.
The Premier League duo are also keen on Patrick Dorgu, although the Dane might stay in Serie A rather than move to England. In any case, Adeyemi is making waves in the market with his performances this season, as his interest might be standalone, and there’s a strong possibility for him to move next summer.
