German transfer insider Christian Falk reports that Chelsea are continuing discussions to sign Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund, with a potential summer move on the table. While Adeyemi’s speed and versatility are appealing, his underwhelming record of 11 goals in 53 Bundesliga games and his injury history have left Chelsea fans questioning the logic behind the move.
