Adeyemi’s Performance and Development
Since the start of the campaign, Adeyemi has already played a pivotal role for Dortmund, contributing to eight goals for his side. His efforts have not been limited to attacking output; his commitment to defensive work has also drawn praise from within the club. Lars Ricken emphasised the player’s overall progression and consistency, noting his strong form and recent absence of injuries, which have allowed Adeyemi to thrive under coach Niko Kovac.
Club’s Long-Term Vision
When questioned about potential departures, specifically whether Dortmund would consider letting Adeyemi leave for a sum similar to the reported 60 million euros associated with teammate Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Ricken was unequivocal in his response. “We don’t want to sell him, so – no.” The club’s leadership is clearly intent on building for the future with Adeyemi as a key element.
