Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ♋has been speakꦚing about today’s Champions League draw and has admitted that RB Salzburg youngster, Karim Adeyemi, is someone to watch out for.

While Liverpool were eventually drawn🧸 against Inter Milan, Salzburg were given a tough task by being h👍anded a tricky two-legged tie against German giants, Bayern Munich. The Austrian club are looking to pull off an upset, and know they’ll need to be at their best to succeed.

However, they do have some talented players and in recent times, have made a habit of selling their top stars on for big money, such as Patson Daka this summer. One of the other stars of the show in Salzburg is Karim Adeyemi. The youngster has been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal, with reports claiming a fee of £34m might be needed.

And speaking to Liverpool’s official site following today’s CL draw, Klopp admitted that Adeye⭕mi 🦩is someone he is well aware of.

“They have now with Adeyemi one of the most exciting attacking wingers in football at the moment, as well as other really good players. That’s how it is, Salzburg is a very interesting project,” Klopp after the draw.

Adeyemi has🃏 been on fire this season. He has goals in all competitions, including three in six in the Champions League itself.

TBR’s View: A Hint From Klopp To Adeyemi Interest

While you can make something ✤out of nothing here, it’s interesting to h𒀰ear Jurgen Klopp talk directly about Karim Adeyemi, given the links to Liverpool.

Certainly, the German is quite the talent. Klopp is right to recognise him as one of foot🥀ball’s biggest up and comers, and teams will need to be aware of ⛄him in the knockouts.

Long-term, Liverpool fans will hope Adeyemi winds up at Anfield. Mo ꦬSalah and Sadio Mane can’t go on forever, and at 19, the youngster could be the ideal long-term solution.
