Borussia Dortmund have announced the arrival of Karim Adeyemi, on the same day fellow striker Erling Haaland joined Manchester City.
City confirmed the signing of Haaland from Dortmund on Tuesday for just £51million, £12m less than his release clause, on a bumper five-year £385,000-a-week deal.

According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the fee for the 20-year-old wonderkid is around £32.5m.
Manchester United reportedly made a last-ditch attempt to sign Adeyemi, but he rejected their £150,000-a-week contract offer, according to reports in Germany.
The news then comes as a double blow to United, who have not only missed out on a promising young talent but also seen their bitter rivals sign one of the most coveted players in world football.
