Arsenal is set to miss out on signing Karim Adeyemi as Chelsea steps up their interest in the attacker.
Adeyemi has been one of the finest attackers in European football over the last few seasons and has performed well at Borussia Dortmund.
The attacker was pivotal as BVB reached the final of the Champions League last season and has remained in fine form for them.
Several clubs, including Arsenal, want to add his pace and trickery to their squad, but the Gunners do not currently lead the race for his signature.
An exclusive report on Caught Offside claims Chelsea is leading the race for his signature and is looking to make an opening bid soon.
They are looking to steal a march on Arsenal and other suitors, including Liverpool, who want to add him to their squad in this transfer window.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Adeyemi has been one of the finest attackers in Europe so far and has done a fantastic job of ensuring that BVB stays competitive.
The Germans are delighted to have him in their squad, but they might be open to his departure before next season starts.
Chelsea’s interest means we face paying a huge fee for his signature if we become serious about signing him.

We don’t need him! I’d rather have Toney!
I do ask a question, is arsenal the only football club in the world? Every single player available in the market must be link with arsenal.
What of Ajax’s Brobbey who is linked to Arsenal for their possible signing this summer?
I have nothing against Adeyemi coming to Arsenal this summer.
But if Arteta and Edu will be comfortable if Brobbey signed for Arsenal this summer. Why don’t they then hold on to him and sign him for Arsenal?
But for the home-grow issue, have GJesus offloadefl on loan or on the permanent basis. And keep Nkethia.
