interested in signing Borussia Dortmund&#8217;s Karim Adeeemi.<\/p>\n<p>They added that the German international, which is thought to be available for around 45 million euros (\u00a338 million), is considered a &#8220;serious alternative&#8221; to the Barcelona-bound Nico Williams, to add &#8220;explosiveness&#8221; to Arsenal&#8217;s forward line.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old began his senior career at RB Salzburg, scoring four Champions League goals for Dailotenbren, thereby earning a \u00a338 million move to Borussia Dortmund three summers ago.<\/p>\n<p>Die Schwarzgelben&#8217;s 105 appearances so far<em>,<\/em> Adeyemi scored 26 goals, registered 17 assists, and featured all three fixtures from the Club World Cup this summer, starting against both Fulminence in East Rutherford and Ulsan HD in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>Now he&#8217;s the 13th German to play for Arsenal, joining current Manschaft teammate Kai Herberts, and will he follow in the footsteps of Mesatt Ozil, Bern Leno and Lucas Podolski, among others?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-karim-adeyemi-would-improve-arsenal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Karim_Adeyemi_improves_Arsenal\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>How Karim Adeyemi improves Arsenal<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal is trying to improve its left-wing options and largely agrees that an upgrade or at least an alternative to Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Torosard, or at least an alternative to both, is necessary to take it to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>    Nevertheless, speaking of Arsecast, Andrew Mangan and James McNicholas both agreed that it was very &#8220;impossible&#8221; for Gunners to sign two Wingers this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Adeyemi certainly fits that short one, and has been deployed on both sides by both Dortmund managers Nuri Chahin and Niko Kova\u010d throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s evaluate how he compares Arsenal&#8217;s wide player&#8217;s gold standard, namely Saka, mentioned above.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"center\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Kai Adeemy Vs.<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>statistics<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Adeyemi Percentile<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Saka Percentile<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Non-penalty goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>95 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>77 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>shot<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>No. 82<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>87 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>assist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Number 83<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>96 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Expected assist<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>91st<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>98 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Shot creation action<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>No. 45<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>91st<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Progressive Carry<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>71st<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Number 83<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>A successful take-on<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>87 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>75 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>touch<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>79 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>95 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>Receiving progressive path<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>71st<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>94 days<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>All statistics provided by fbref.com<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>FBREF Disclaimer: These statistics are based on matches played in domestic leagues and UEFA club competitions over the past 365 days, comparing them to other offensive midfielders and wingers.<\/p>\n<p>As the table outlines, Saka is on top due to the majority of indicators, but that&#8217;s not to deny Adeemi. At least considering England International is one of the best players in the world, according to teammate Martinelli.<\/p>\n<p>    The German statistics are roughly comparable to Saka&#8217;s, achieving more non-penalty targets and successfully completing a higher percentage of his take-ons.<\/p>\n<p>Football talent scout Jacek Kulig describes him as having &#8220;electric pace&#8221; and &#8220;great dribbling skills,&#8221; and simply labels him as &#8220;world-class talent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, full football analysis Lee Scott believes he will provide the ability to &#8220;provided a direct target threat&#8221; and &#8220;carry the ball at the speed of past defenders,&#8221; but Tande Young claims that he has broken the line &#8220;he can be multiple Barondoors or winners like Lionel Messi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s clear that if Adeyemi can check out a bunch of boxes for Arsenal and pull out this deal, it&#8217;s going to be a great and exciting addition.
