My Take
Born in Munich to a Nigerian father, Karim Adeyemi is one of those wingers I genuinely look forward to watching. His explosive pace and willingness to attack the space behind defenders give Borussia Dortmund a different gear, and reaching the German national team this young says plenty about his ceiling. What I want to see now is consistency and decision-making catching up to the raw speed. If he stays healthy and sharpens his end product, I think he becomes a face of the next German generation. There is real, exciting upside here that I am happy to keep an eye on.
