# Virals: Supporters on social media spot possible January transfer hint

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/15/virals-liverpool-forward-takumi-minamino-back-in-training/) fans have been connecting dots linking a possible move for Red Bull Salzburg forward [Karim Adeyemi](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/14/virals-liverpool-in-pole-position-for-january-karim-adeyemi-transfer/).

This comes after [reports](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/) linked the Reds with a January attempt to sign the 19-year-old as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster the squad.

Adeyemi was in impressive form on Tuesday night as the Austrian Bundesliga side held Sevilla to a [1-1 draw](https://www.bt.com/sport/watch/video/clips/2021/september/highlights-sevilla-1-1-rb-salzburg) on the opening night of the UEFA Champions League.

Whilst the teenage sensation was performing on the biggest stage, Kopites were allowing themselves to get excited on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GrizzKhan/status/1437844465624961025).

Adeyemi played 80 minutes for Salzburg, winning a remarkable three penalties – albeit missing one – whilst generally being a nuisance to the opposition defenders and earning a [7.20 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/karim-adeyemi/940054).

This season the once capped German ace has [scored seven and assisted two in 11 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karim-adeyemi/leistungsdaten/spieler/496094) across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £18million and under contract until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/karim-adeyemi/marktwertverlauf/spieler/496094)), it’s likely the Reds will have to far exceed the £7.5million paid to land Takumi Minamino from Austria.

That’s not to say it’s not possible, and given the [level of performance](https://www.goal.com/en/news/adeyemi-makes-champions-league-history-in-wild-penalty/1j8rtnir87rna1vuokykf94h82) on show in Seville, Klopp may already have seen enough to be convinced.

As the [squad](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) is stretched to its limits in January and beyond, an additional attacking option in mid-season could be just the tonic.

Capable of [playing across the frontline](https://fbref.com/en/players/501055d8/Karim-Adeyemi), Adeyemi is looking more and more suited to the Reds with each passing moment.
