Borussia Dortmund forward considering leaving with Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle all previously keen
TBR Football understands that Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi is considering his options in Germany, a forward who has attracted interest from clubs like Arsenal in the past.
So far this season, Adeyemi has scored five and assisted five in 14 appearances for Dortmund, a 23-year-old who is highly-regarded across Europe.
Given their long-standing interest, Arsenal asked to be kept informed about Adeyemi’s situation already this season, a versatile forward who is able to play as a striker.
Now, Adeyemi has been left frustrated with how things are unfolding for him at Dortmund this campaign, and the German club are open to his sale.

As a result, Graeme Bailey – chief correspondent at TBR Football, understands that Napoli are pushing hard to sign Adeyemi from Dortmund.
Adeyemi is currently considering his options but is not sure whether he should move this month.

Napoli boss Antonio Conte sees Adeyemi as the ideal signing to help replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who has recently departed for Paris Saint-Germain.
Conte has personally held talks with the 23-year-old, who is yet to make a decision on his next move.
TBR understands that Adeyemi is torn on whether to depart Dortmund this month or not, as his people believe that the options for him this summer would be considerable.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United all have a historic interest in Adeyemi and most of those clubs were keen on him before he joined Dortmund in 2022.
Dortmund manager change could present new path for Adeyemi
Dortmund recently parted company with manager Nuri Sahin which could also have a bearing on Adeyemi’s decision to leave this month.
It is feasible that the Germany under-21 international’s playing situation could be different in the coming months, depending who takes over.
Erik ten Hag has turned down the Dortmund job already – he’s not ready to return to management just yet after being sacked by Man United.
And whilst Tottenham are reportedly interested in Niko Kovac should Ange Postecoglou be let go any time soon, Dortmund are said to be eyeing a move for the former Bayern Munich manager themselves.
Evidently there’s a lot of moving pieces for both Adeyemi and Dortmund, who will continue to assess his situation before next week’s deadline.
