He scored 36 goals across 146 games for Borussia Dortmund and was a key member in Dortmund\u2019s heartbreaking Bundesliga and Champions league pushes in 2023 and 2024 respectively. Pundits and club officials earmarked Adeyemi as the \u2018Next Wunderkid\u2019 throughout his time here but he failed to hit the heights as his predecessors. He had several games where it felt like he announced himself to the world only for it to be a hot-streak. The German forward missed out on the World Cup squad after only racking up 1,196 domestic minutes this season and doesn\u2019t appear to be a good fit for how Niko Kovac wants to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That being said, he\u2019s undoubtably a good player. Despite the limited minutes, Adeyemi averaged .83 goals + assists per game in the league this season. His ability to defend from the front, win aerial duels, and win fouls has been a key resource for Borussia Dortmund in hotly contested games. Most importantly, however, is that the Borussia Dortmund social media manager will lose 90% of their content after spamming everyone with Adeyemi memes for four years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The final price is yet to be confirmed but Patrick Berger is currently reporting that Dortmund should only expect to get between \u20ac20m to \u20ac40m due to only having 1 year left on his contract. This price is far from the \u20ac80m that was touted seasons ago but unfortunately is better than seeing him leave on a free next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">At least we\u2019ll always have that goal against Chelsea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adeyemi joined Dortmund in 2022 and has been a divisive, but promising, player across his four seasons.
