Will Junior Adamu make it to the Bundesliga?
At the end of the season, Adamu made 30 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. Not a world-class record, but a first leap forward for a 21-year-old in his year with the pros. That’s why his name was among the potential newcomers in attack at RB Leipzig.
Adamu has scored 11 times in 13 games for Austria’s U21s
He caused a stir, especially in the youth national teams. The Austrian with Nigerian roots played for all youth teams in Austria and scored eleven goals in 13 games for the U21s. It also earned him an A-team appeal, Franco Foda giving him a minute in World Cup qualifiers against Israel.
Lots of people are queuing up
According to the Bild newspaper, FC Augsburg is currently interested in loaning Adamu and making the deal more attractive with a purchase option. The center forward with a market value of six million euros last extended in 2020 and signed until 2025.
Should the Fuggerstadt team get the nod, they would also outperform Eintracht Frankfurt, Hertha BSC and TSG Hoffenheim. There are said to have been interested parties from the Premier League with Leeds, Southampton and West Ham.
