Borussia Dortmund immediately name Erling Haaland replacement amid failed Man Utd attempt

Borussia Dortmund have already replaced Erling Haaland by snapping up RB Salzburg hotshot Karim Adeyemi - despite Manchester United's late attempt to hijack the deal.

Dortmund have been braced for the departure of Haaland, who is on the verge of wrapping up a £51million transfer to Manchester City. The Premier League champions have beaten off stiff competition to land the 21-year-old striker, who has notched 85 goals in just 88 games during his time in Germany.

But Dortmund have wasted no time in sourcing a replacement, and the club confirmed Adeyemi's arrival just one hour after Haaland's exit was announced on Tuesday afternoon. The 20-year-old striker has penned a five-year-deal and will be tied to the German club until the summer of 2027.
