    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Chelsea are looking to sign another versatile forward to their ranks this summer after a rather disappointing season for the Blues in the Premier League. However, The Daily Mail reports that Adeyemi is reluctant to make the move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Adeyemi is on the back of a good season for Dortmund after the German side reached the Champions League final. However, they are set to sign Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart and are chasing Lyon's Rayan Cherki and Brighton's Pascal Gross, so they are open to selling the 22-year-old this summer for the right price.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Adeyemi, however, wants to join a club competing in next season's Champions League, and with Chelsea set to play in the Conference League, that is something they are unable to offer him his demands. He is, therefore, 'unreceptive' to the move.

    WHAT NEXT FOR ADEYEMI?

    It is possible the German will move clubs this summer, but in the meantime he will start pre-season with Dortmund as they prepare for their first season under new head coach Nuri Sahin.
