Arsenal are pursuing Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund ahead of the summer window as part of a broader plan to strengthen their attack for next season.

Arsenal will face competition from Manchester United, who are also expected to lodge an official bid for Adeyemi during the summer, while Dortmund looks to balance its finances by open to offers.

Adeyemi is a versatile forward who can operate as a centre-forward, second striker, or on either wing, having tallied 10 goals and five assists in 37 appearances this season.

Aged 24, Adeyemi has been with Dortmund since 2022, signing a contract through 2027, with 36 goals and 24 assists in 144 appearances for the club overall.

At this stage, no formal negotiations are confirmed, but Adeyemi remains a name to watch in the summer market.

Arsenal see Adeyemi as a source of pace and direct running to energize their attack, offering versatility across wide and central roles.

In Arteta’s system, Adeyemi could act as a flexible joker who enhances transitional play and may replace or complement Martinelli across attacking positions.

He is described as a fast, adaptable forward whose pace has attracted interest from several clubs and drawn Arsenal’s attention.

While United are linked with Adeyemi, their priority reportedly remains central midfield, with other targets mentioned as possibilities.

Dortmund may be willing to cash in on Adeyemi due to limited regular minutes and only seven league goals this season, with his contract expiring next summer.

The potential move signals Arsenal’s strategy to invest in top talent to sustain high performance and ambitions domestically and in Europe.

With a focus on left-wing options, Arsenal weigh Adeyemi as a potential investment to bolster the attack behind Martinelli and Trossard.
