Karim Adeyemi is still getting used to life at Barcelona after his arrival from Borussia Dortmund, but head coach Hansi Flick is already excited about what's to come from the German winger.

Adeyemi made his debut in a friendly against Birmingham City after just a couple of days of training with the group, and Flick already saw promising signs. The coach believes there is much more to come from the 23-year-old as he settles into his new surroundings.

"There are still things that aren't quite right," Flick admitted. "He has much more potential to showcase his strengths, but it's only the first week, and that's normal. I'm seeing him improve a lot, and with his speed and finishing ability, he's doing well. He has a lot of potential and can contribute a great deal."

While it may be difficult to see Adeyemi becoming a fixture in Barcelona's starting XI immediately, his combination of pace, finishing, and versatility makes him an ideal super-sub forward capable of playing across all three positions in attack. That flexibility could prove invaluable across a demanding season.

Comparisons have already been drawn to Pedro, who played a crucial squad role in Barcelona's treble-winning 2014-15 campaign. If Adeyemi can replicate even a fraction of that impact off the bench, his signing will already be considered a success.
