Arsenal have emerged as favourites to sign Karim Adeyemi in the summer transfer window, with a report revealing the attributes of the Borussia Dortmund winger that have impressed Gunners manager Mikel Arteta as the Spanish media reveals that the north London club tried to sign a Barcelona forward in the January transfer window.
Adeyemi has been on the books of Dortmund since 2022 and has established himself as one of the best young players in the Bundesliga. Blessed with the ability to play in a number of positions in attack and frightening speed, the 23-year-old has been deployed mainly as a right winger this season, with head coach Niko Kovac occasionally using him on the left and down the middle as a centre-forward.
Liverpool and Napoli were linked with Adeyemi in the January transfer window, but no move materialised, and it has now emerged that Arsenal are the favourites to sign the youngster in the summer of 2025.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal are “the most likely candidates” to sign the German star.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been hugely impressed with Adeyemi’s “speed, balance and goalscoring ability”, and believes that he would be a perfect fit for his team.
Adeyemi, who has scored 90 goals and given 58 assists in 248 appearances so far in his career, himself would find the prospect of playing in the Premier League for a London club very attractive.
Arsenal wanted Ferran Torres in January
Arsenal’s desire to sign a striker in the January transfer window following the injury to Gabriel Jesus has been well documented.
It has now emerged in the Spanish media that the Gunners were keen on former Manchester City forward Ferran Torres.
According to Marca, Arsenal have had always had Torres in their sights and thought of signing him.
