Manchester United keen on Borussia Dortmund’s Adeyemi

Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi.

The German international has had a strong start to the season, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists in his first 4 appearances, and he is reportedly “among a number of targets” that sporting director Dan Ashworth is looking at.

Adeyemi was actually close to leaving Dortmund during the summer transfer window, but a move to Juventus collapsed as the two teams could not agree a transfer fee.

Dortmund were said to be demanding €50m (£42m) for the 22-year-old but Juve were not prepared to pay that much for the player. TEAMtalk claim his asking price could be even higher now.

Adeyemi is a left-footed winger, who can also be deployed as a striker. Considering Antony’s poor form, it is believed that he could be a potential replacement for the Brazilian international.

While Antony did get on the scoresheet from the penalty spot during the 7-0 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening, his long-term future at Old Trafford is in serious doubt.
