Tottenham Hotspur have been contacted over a potential ‘shock’ move to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi as they look to add a new forward to their squad during the January transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.

Spurs are on the verge of completing deals for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher and Santos left-back Souza already this month, with the north London club ready to prioritise the arrival of an attacker next for Thomas Frank.

Tottenham already have a shortlist of three players they are looking at in the forward positions, but they have now been alerted to the situation of the 23-year-old Germany international according to this latest report.

Tottenham Move for Adeyemi Would be ‘Surprising’

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham have now been made aware of the situation involving Adeyemi as they look to sign a new forward for Frank.

The three top targets they have mainly been considering this month are Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis, according to the report.

While Akliouche is a long-term target who could be available this month if Monaco can find a replacement, Leipzig have decided that the highly-rated Diomande will be going nowhere this month.

Spurs turning their attention to Adeyemi at this stage would be a ‘surprise’ according to TEAMtalk, as he emerges as a new name who is being mentioned as a potential option should he decide to move to the Premier League.

The £75m-valued German’s contract with Dortmund expires in 2027, with the suggestion he could be ready to explore a new challenge this year.

Adeyemi Would be an Exciting Tottenham Addition

It has been a difficult year off the pitch for Adeyemi after he was convicted by German authorities for illegal possession of weapons, but his ability on the year cannot be questioned.

Despite the issues away from football, the 23-year-old has still scored six goals and provided four assists in 23 appearances for Dortmund, while he has an impressive overall record of 32 goals and 22 assists in 130 total outings for the Bundesliga giants.

The official Bundesliga website has described Adeyemi as being ‘faster than a speeding bullet’, with a playing style similar to that of Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Blessed with incredible pace, the German is always going to be a threat to defenders and that spark is exactly what Tottenham and Frank are missing in the final third.

The addition of Adeyemi would also be a coup given he has also been linked with Premier League rivals Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool previously.

Tottenham Make £52m Brahim Diaz Offer

According to reports in Spain, Tottenham have another player on their list of attacking targets this month.

Spurs are said to have made a £52m bid for Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz as they look to add a significant player to their attacking options before the February 2 deadline.

The North London club certainly look to mean business in the mid-season transfer window, as they look to help Frank move Tottenham right up the Premier League table.
