Karim Adeyemi |
The Bundesliga club said the 20-year-old Adeyemi signed a
contract through June 2027 after completing a medical examination in Dortmund
earlier in the day.
“Adeyemi is a highly talented, young German international
who through his strong finishing and incredible pace will make a valuable
addition to our attacking play,” Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said.
“After the transfers of Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck, we are getting
another very exciting player for next season.”
Sebastian Kehl, who will take over from Zorc next season,
noted that Adeyemi was a Dortmund fan in his youth and that he decided to sign
for the club despite “several offers from Europe’s top leagues.”
Adeyemi leads the Austrian Bundesliga with 19 goals, and he
has scored three for Salzburg in the Champions League. He made his Germany
debut in a World Cup qualifier against Armenia and scored his first
international goal last September.
Adeyemi will help Dortmund make up for the departure of
Erling Haaland, who has agreed to a transfer to Manchester City.
