Liverpool<\/a> have reportedly held preliminary talks to sign Borussia Dortmund<\/a> winger Karim Adeyemi<\/a> in the January transfer window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite spending heavily in the summer, the Reds suddenly find themselves in a spot of bother after losing Alexander Isak<\/a> through injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Swedish striker picked up a nasty leg injury during the Reds’ 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, and he is set to be out for a few months at least after undergoing surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Mohamed Salah unavailable due to his involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations and Cody Gakpo also injured, the Reds could be forced to sign a new attacker in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Reds eye move for\u00a0Adeyemi?\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a report from Anfield Index<\/a>, Liverpool have turned their attention to Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi, who\u00a0could be available for around \u00a320m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Antoine Semenyo<\/a> in recent months, but they are reportedly unsure over his\u00a0\u00a365m price tag.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moreover, the 25-year-old winger prefers a move to Manchester City <\/a>in January over other interested parties, leaving Liverpool looking for options elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It appears that the Premier League champions are serious about Adeyemi, and have held preliminary talks with his representatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will\u00a0Adeyemi be a good signing for Liverpool?\u00a0
\n<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Imago<\/p>\n

Adeyemi joined Dortmund from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2022, and he has quickly established himself as an important player for the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old has scored six goals and provided three assists in all competitions this season, and has 32 goals to his name for Dortmund.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Capable of playing across all positions upfront, Adeyemi can be a handy option for the Reds, although his fitness record is far from satisfactory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liverpool, ideally, also need a new centre-back in the January window, and could make a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool have reportedly held preliminary talks to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi in the January transfer window.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4741,7572,1128,7335,3474,61,60,19147,1195,1102,3654,850,112,108194,75546,7462],"class_list":["post-209953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-cycling","tag-epl","tag-football","tag-formula-1","tag-golf","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-nfl","tag-olympics","tag-premier-league","tag-rugby","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-sports-mole","tag-teams","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
