A recent report from Fichajes reveals that Liverpool is interested in acquiring talent Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund. The Reds are reportedly keen to finalize a deal for the German winger in the upcoming year.
Adeyemi’s Stellar Performance in Germany
Karim Adeyemi has been in excellent form at Borussia Dortmund, showcasing his talents in the final third with a notable performance record. This season, he has scored six goals and provided five assists in 27 matches across various competitions.

The 23-year-old has made a strong impact in the opponent’s penalty area, averaging 2.45 shots per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga and hitting the target with 45% of his attempts. However, he will need to enhance his passing accuracy, having completed only 70.9% of his passes in Germany’s top flight (stats via fbref.com). His current deal with Signal Iduna Park runs until the summer of 2027, which may allow Liverpool to negotiate a more affordable transfer next year.

Is Karim Adeyemi the Right Choice for Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?
Adeyemi is an adept dribbler and can make powerful runs down the flanks, demonstrating the vision to create enticing scoring opportunities for his teammates. He is capable of delivering long-range shots with power, contributing both goals and assists from wide positions.

Primarily a right-winger, Adeyemi can also operate on the left or even as a center-forward if necessary. However, questions remain regarding his ability to sustain his performance levels in the Premier League.
If signed, Adeyemi could enhance the quality and depth of Liverpool‘s attacking lineup, serving as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. At just 23 years old, Adeyemi is entering his peak years, making him an attractive option for the Reds to pursue either this January or at the end of the current season. Thus, Slot would be wise to consider adding a player of Adeyemi’s caliber in 2026.
