Arsenal receive major transfer boost as Karim Adeyemi ‘prefers Gunners move’ over Manchester United. As a major development towards the next transfer window, a Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has reportedly said that he prefers Arsenal as his favorite destination. This has been a setback to the other suitors, Manchester United.
United has closely monitored the 23-year-old German international over the last few months. The chiefs of the club have been in early talks with his representative, Jorge Mendes. Their attempts have, however, faced difficulty. This occured by the high valuation of Dortmund of 75 million and the ambitions of the player himself.
A Preferred Destination
Adeyemi personal position seems to be the greatest challenge to Manchester United. In case he quits Dortmund, the choice of the player would be rather to Arsenal than Old Trafford. This favorability puts firmly the side of Mikel Arteta way ahead.
As far as Adeyemi’s concern, Arsenal is a sail which has more certainty compared to the one that is currently at construction at United. The Gunners are also at the top in the Premier League. They also have a chance to play in the Champions League. This guarantees a higher presence of the elite European football. Moreover, he is something the Reds cannot afford to get this season.
Contract Situation and Arsenal’s Needs
Adeyemi is contracted till 2027 with Dortmund and the extension bargain may be stuck. The German club is beginning to open its mind to the fact that he can get a new challenge next summer. Thus a transfer is more likely than before.
In the case of Arsenal, the 23-year-old will be an all-round forward player. He could offer competition on either side of the flank. A type of player that Arteta had been eager to introduce into his team throughout the summer.
Author’s Opinion
As yet, Adeyemi also has highlighted his attention to the campaign of Dortmund. The future of Karim Adeyemi can be regarded as one of the most fascinating transfer stories going into the summer window.
