Club career

After progressing through the youth departments, he made his debut in March 2018 for the U19 team in the A-Junioren-Bundesliga. He scored his first goal in this league in April 2018 in a 2-3 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt U19. With Unterhaching, he suffered relegation to the A-Jugend Bayernliga at the end of the season.
Prior to the 2018–19 season, Adeyemi was signed by Austrian club FC Red Bull Salzburg where he signed a three-year contract. He was subsequently loaned out to their feeder club FC Liefering for the season. Adeyemi made his 2. Liga debut on 1 September 2018 against Austria Lustenau, where he played the full game as Liefering lost 1-0.

Personal life

Adeyemi was born in Munich, Germany to a Nigerian father and Romanian mother.
