Borussia Dortmund’s flying winger Karim Adeyemi says he is happy at the club but could offer no guarantee on his future, as he is linked with a move to the Premier League.

The 22-year-old is on the radar of the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and West Ham with Dortmund readying themselves for a bid.

The Germany international remains under contract at Dortmund until 2027 and was a regular in their team last season, making 34 appearances and starting in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.

Adeyemi is a rapid presence on the wing, but is yet to regularly add goals to his game, scoring just five times last season, down from nine in 32 appearances over the previous campaign.

He did net 23 times in his final season with RB Salzburg, which earned him his move to Germany, but hasn’t been anywhere near as prolific for Dortmund.

However, he has still caught the eye of Premier League sides and has responded to interest in him, not committing to anything at this stage.

‘I can’t say anything about that,’ he told Ruhr Nachrichten. ‘I’m wearing a Dortmund shirt, and I’m very happy to be wearing a Dortmund shirt. There are no guarantees in life.’

Former Dortmund player Nuri Sahin has now taken over as manager of the club after the departure of Edin Terzic and suggested he is keen to keep hold of the winger.

‘Karim knows what I think about him,’ he said. ‘I’m not going to start commenting on every rumour. I’m not playing along.

‘What’s important to me is what I want from Karim. And what Karim told me is important to me. Everything else is not my concern.’

AC Milan and Juventus have also been credited with interest in signing Adeyemi and Sky Sport Germany report that Dortmund could be tempted into selling him for around €40m (£33.6m).
