Kovac has firmly dismissed reports suggesting a fractured relationship with Adeyemi, instead choosing to highlight the immense potential of the German international, who has scored 10 goals and made five assists in 37 matches this season.<\/p>\n

The discussion around Adeyemi’s future comes at a time when top English clubs are reportedly circling, with rumours suggesting that Manchester United<\/a> and Newcastle could be interested in a deal.
