Karim Adeyemi seems to have moved on from his EURO 2024 snub by Germany after modelling Borussia Dortmund's 2024/25 kits.

German-born Nigerian Karim Adeyemi appears to have shaken off his EURO 2024 disappointment with Germany after being unveiled as the star model for Borussia Dortmund's stunning new home kit for 2024/25.

The 22-year-old was a surprise omission from Julian Nagelsmann's 27-man squad for this summer's EURO 2024 despite an impressive first season at Dortmund.

However, Adeyemi has brushed aside that setback by featuring front and center as his Bundesliga club and kit suppliers Puma released their classic yellow shirt with black sleeves for the upcoming campaign.

"Truly Classic. Truly Dortmund. The 24/25 @bvb09 x @pumafootball Home Kit is here," Borussia Dortmund posted on X (formerly Twitter) alongside videos of Adeyemi modelling the new threads with his teammates.

The German-Nigerian forward, who joined Dortmund from RB Salzburg in the summer of 2022/23 season, hit five goals and assisted two more for the Yellow and Black this season.

Despite his poor returns, Adeyemi has been one of Dortmund’s better players this campaign and that form looked to have put him in contention for a place at EURO 2024 until his omission from Nagelsmann's preliminary squad on Friday.

But Adeyemi is clearly putting that international snub behind him by taking centre stage for one of Germany's biggest clubs ahead of the new season.

The lightning-quick striker will be hoping to fire Dortmund to glory on multiple fronts in 2024/25, armed with their stylish new home strip.

Dortmund currently sit fifth in Bundesliga standings, 27 points behind history-making and chasing champions Bayer Leverkusen.

However, they will be eager to go one better in the Champions League when they face giants Real Madrid in the finals early next month.
