Football Manager 2022: 10 Strikers You Must Sign

8. Karim Adeyemi

Football Manager 2022 Matías Arezo
SEGA

Club: RB Salzburg

Nationality: German

Price: £15 million

One of those players who is forever linked with Arsenal in real life, Karim Adeyami seems destined to be a breakout talent in world football at some point over these next couple of years.

Still only 19 when loading up a new FM22 career, this young German is an explosive forward option who brings a nice added slice of versatility with him; that versatility being his ability to comfortably serve as an inverted winger/inside forward on either flank.

As for that explosiveness, so much of that comes from Adeyemi's acceleration (17), pace (16), determination (19) and off the ball (15). Such numbers mean the RB Salzburg man is always willing to chase down balls, will make the smart runs required to get into good positions, and has fantastic speed to get into said positions.

14s for finishing, dribbling and work rate add further to the appeal of this Germany youth international, and his initial price of around £15 million marks him out as a great investment who can hit the ground running if needed.
