Haaland has scored 85 goals in 88 matches for Dortmund since joining from RB Salzburg in January 2020. Dortmund host Hertha Berlin in their last game of the season on Saturday.

The 20-year-old has scored 23 goals in 42 games this season while also adding eight assists.

Adeyemi arrived at Dortmund airport at around 11am local time on Tuesday on a flight from Salzburg and has signed a deal until June 2027.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes the Haaland deal will “set new levels” in the transfer market.
