Club career

Red Bull Salzburg

Adeyemi played as a youth for TSV Forstenried, and at the age of eight he joined local Bundesliga side Bayern Munich youth academy in 2010. Due to an impasse in negotiating his continued stay at the club, there was a dispute and Adeyemi eventually had to leave the club, which meant that he joined SpVgg Unterhaching in 2012. [3] After progressing through the youth departments, he made his debut in March 2018 for the U19 team in the A-Junioren-Bundesliga (Under 19 Bundesliga). He scored his first goal in this league in April 2018 in a 2–3 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt U19. With Unterhaching, he suffered relegation to the A-Jugend Bayernliga (Under 19 Bayernliga) at the end of the season.

Prior to the 2018–19 season, Adeyemi was signed by Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg where he signed a three-year contract. [4] He was subsequently loaned out to their feeder club FC Liefering for the season. Adeyemi made his 2. Liga debut on 1 September 2018 against Austria Lustenau, where he played the full game as Liefering lost 1–0. [5] On 1 December 2020, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–1 away win over Lokomotiv Moscow during the 2020–21 season. [6]

Borussia Dortmund

On 10 May 2022, Adeyemi was announced to have joined Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on a deal until the summer of 2027. [7] On 5 October, he scored his first Champions League goal with Borussia Dortmund in a 4–1 away win over Sevilla. [8] On 4 February 2023, he was recorded as the Bundesliga's fastest-ever player at 36.65 kilometres per hour (22.77 mph) during a match against Freiburg. [9] Later that month, on 15 February, he scored the only goal from a solo strike in a 1–0 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 first leg. [10] On 30 March 2024, he scored the opening goal in a 2–0 away win over Bayern Munich, to be his club's first victory in Der Klassiker since 2019 and the first win at Allianz Arena in 10 years. [11]

On 1 October 2024, he scored his first hat-trick in the Champions League in a 7–1 home win over Celtic. [12]

International

Adeyemi was born in Munich, Germany, to a Nigerian father and Romanian mother. [13] He is a youth international for Germany, having represented the Germany under-16s, under-17s and under-21s. He made his debut for the Germany senior team in a 6–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Armenia on 5 September 2021, coming on as a late substitute and scoring his side's sixth goal in the first minute of second-half injury time. [14] As Adeyemi was a Red Bull Salzburg player on his debut, this marked the first time in the post-war period that a player from an Austrian club played a match for the German senior national team. [15]

In November 2022, he was named in the German squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. [16] However, he did not feature in any match, as Germany were knocked out at the group stage. [17]
