Karim Adeyemi could have been a Chelsea player had the club's scouts followed up an initial interest in the German.
Adeyemi was Borussia Dortmund's hero in the Champions League round of 16 first leg tie on Wednesday night with the former Red Bull Salzburg star netting the winner in the 63rd minute. Dortmund countered at lightning speed with Adeyemi bursting past Enzo Fernandez and rounding Kepa Arrizabalaga to slot home and give his side the lead ahead of the return leg at Stamford Bridge later this month.
Having come through the ranks at Salzburg after a stint with Bayern Munich and SpVgg Unterhaching, Munich native Adeyemi signed for Dortmund in May last year. The four-cap Germany international could have been a Chelsea player after their scouts showed an interest in the player when he was a youngster, but they decided not to act.
