BORUSSIA DORTMUND have reportedly set their sights on Karim Adeyemi as a replacement for Jadon Sancho.
The Red Bull Salzburg wonderkid, 17, has also attracted interest from Barcelona following his impressive spell of form.

According to Transfermarkt, the Bundesliga giants are monitoring Deyemi’s situation amid speculation surrounding Sancho’s future.
The 17-year-old has proved his potential with Salzburg feeder club FC Liefering.
He has already scored five goals in 11 games for the Austrian second-tier side this season.
Salzburg forked out £3million to secure his services from German club SpVgg Unterhaching in 2018.
And it is reported that he is now valued at around £7m.
Adeyemi, who has a Nigerian father and Romanian mother, began his youth career with Bayern Munich.
Arsenal and Liverpool were also linked to the Germany Under-17 international last year.
Dortmund have been forced to assess their attacking options as Sancho is allegedly ready to quit the club.
Club chief Michael Zorc has admitted “you don’t have to be a prophet” to realise the 19-year-old’s future lies elsewhere.
And Manchester United are reportedly considering a summer swoop for the England starlet.
