Karim Adeyemi Scout Report
At just 22 years old, Karim Adeyemi is proving himself as an intriguing talent in the Bundesliga line-up at Borussia Dortmund. Excelling as a Left Winger but boasting proficiency in both midfield and right-flank positions, Adeyemi is noted for his menacing goal threat, reflected in an impressive standing in the 87.5 percentile. Furthermore, he's perched in the 89.47 percentile for xG per 90 minutes – an incomparable indicator of his significant danger to opposition defences.
While commendably effective in carrying the ball progressively, ranking in the 82.5 percentile, Adeyemi exhibits clear space to improve his distribution game, evidenced in subpar progressive passing figures (20 percentile) and pedestrian assist numbers (39.47 percentile). Yet, perhaps his most glaring weakness lies in ball retention, which, despite his youth, is concerning languishing at a mere 32.5 percentile.
Another key issue is Adeyemi's high dispossession rates, which sit alarmingly at a near-maximum percentile of 97.37, positioning him as one of the players most frequently dispossessed per 90 minutes in the league. Adeyemi's low successful crosses rate, at 15.79 percentile, also suggests a need to hone his accuracy from wide areas if he aims to fully wield his potential as a versatile winger. Despite this, his dribbling ability is a high point, shining in the 71.05 percentile. Improvements in these areas would elevate Adeyemi's game, transforming him from a raw and talented young player into, potentially, an unstoppable forward force.
