Coach Hansi Flick praises Karim Adeyemi's early progress at Barcelona

Karim Adeyemi arrived at Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund and was thrust into a friendly against Birmingham City within a few days of training. Coach Hansi Flick noted that the German international is still adapting but is showing marked improvement, especially in speed and goal-scoring instincts. Flick acknowledged that some aspects of his game need work, yet emphasized the player's high ceiling.

He described Adeyemi as a flexible forward who can operate across the front line and serve as an effective super-sub. Flick suggested that if Adeyemi can emulate the influence Pedro had on the 2015 treble-winning side, the signing will already be justified. The coach remains optimistic about the striker's future contributions to the squad.
