Enzo Maresca's team has been making headlines recently for their interest in a speedy player from the Bundesliga. It seems that Chelsea has set their sights on Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi, who is known for his incredible pace and skill on the field. According to the Bundesliga website, Adeyemi's top speed of 22.77 mph is the third fastest ever recorded in the German top-flight since records began in 2011.
Reports claim that Chelsea has started discussions for a potential summer transfer for the 22-year-old talent, as revealed by German journalist Christian Falk on X. However, it seems that Italian club Napoli is also interested in signing Adeyemi in the current January transfer window, although it is unlikely to happen at this time. Dortmund is demanding a high fee for the young player, making it difficult for many clubs to afford him.
Adeyemi's versatility as a winger or forward has caught the attention of not only Chelsea but also Liverpool, who have shown interest in acquiring him. So far this season, he has three assists and two goals in eight Bundesliga games for Dortmund, but it is in the Champions League where he has truly shined. In just two games, he has scored three goals and provided an assist, showcasing his potential and talent on the biggest stage.
Despite Chelsea's interest in Adeyemi, it is known that he turned down a move to Stamford Bridge last summer. He has been a Dortmund player since 2022 after joining from Red Bull Salzburg. Interestingly, he was previously part of Bayern Munich's academy but left without making a senior appearance. In his time at Dortmund, he has played 77 games, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists. His impressive performances earned him the title of Bundesliga Rookie of the Season in the 2022-23 campaign.
