Authenticity (3/5): Chelsea renew Adeyemi interest
After exploring the possibility of signing Karim Adeyemi during the winter window, Chelsea are expected to once again make a move for the Borussia Dortmund star when the summer window opens.
That is according to Caught Offside, which adds Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in the German forward.
Value (3.5/5): Dortmund slap reasonable price-tag
It is claimed that Dortmund are likely to make him available for £37million. A reasonable demand for a promising versatile forward with 11-goal involvement in all competitions. However, with so many clubs interested in the young star, that fee could skyrocket very quickly.
Suitability (3.5/5): Pacey winger
The 23-year-old is known for his immense pace and versatility. Capable of playing across the frontline, Adeyemi is a forward who is constantly on the move and if Chelsea could find a way to regularly find him, he could be an exciting attacking threat under Enzo Maresca.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): Attacking depth
With Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto failing to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea once again need new players for both flanks. The arrival of a versatile option like Adeyemi would help them strengthen their attacking depth without spending too much.
Logic (4/5): Tempting move
Chelsea and Adeyemi have been seemingly flirting since the start of the year and a concrete approach from them in the summer could convince the Germany international to push for a tempting move to London.
Whisper+ verdict: 17.5/25
Despite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, Chelsea are thought to be leading the race for his signature.
