Karim Adeyemi burst onto the Barcelona scene, netting two goals and delivering three assists in just seven games. His flash sparked the attention of Germany boss Jürgen Klopp, who promptly added the youngster to his inaugural roster. For my money, his early impact proves he belongs on the big stage.
Initially slated for matchdays 3 and 4 against Serbia (Oct 1) and Greece (Oct 4), Adeyemi was fast‑tracked onto the squad this Monday. The shift came after Bayern’s Lennart Karl was moved to the secondary list due to workload concerns, opening a spot for the Barcelona forward.
Germany faces the Netherlands this Thursday at 20:45 in the UEFA Nations League opener, then hosts Greece on Sunday at the same hour. Both games will see Adeyemi alongside Barça‑loan keeper Marc ter Stegen at Ajax. Will Adeyemi cement his spot as Germany’s go‑to forward?
