Dortmund's Adeyemi makes the case for shock England call-up
England boss Southgate urged to consider in-form striker for World Cup squad
Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has emerged as a shock contender for a place in England's World Cup squad after his impressive start to the season.
The 20-year-old has scored seven goals in 11 appearances for Dortmund this season, including a hat-trick against Freiburg last month.
Adeyemi's performances have caught the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate, who is said to be considering the forward for a place in his squad for the World Cup in Qatar.
Adeyemi was born in Munich to a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother, but he has represented Germany at youth level. However, he is eligible to play for England through his English grandmother.
If Adeyemi were to choose to play for England, he would be a valuable addition to Southgate's squad. He is a quick, skillful forward who is good at finishing.
Adeyemi would also provide Southgate with another option in attack, alongside the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, and Bukayo Saka.
It remains to be seen whether Adeyemi will decide to play for England, but his performances for Dortmund have certainly put him on Southgate's radar.
