Premier League title race: Man City maintain healthy lead at top
Borussia Dortmund are closing in on RB Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi in a move that will open the door for Erling Haaland's departure this summer. And with his £64million release clause activating in the summer window, European heavyweights, including those in the Premier League, will be lining up for his signature.

Adeyemi has been directly involved in 16 goals in 17 Austrian Bundesliga games this season, registering 14 goals and two assists.
He also scored three goals and provided one assist for Salzburg in the Champions League group stage, helping the club into the knockouts for the first time.
So there is undoubtedly confidence in his ability to replace Haaland, who looks all but certain to be heading for the Westfalenstadion exit door.
And the Norwegian superstar has been linked with several top European outfits in the build-up to the summer.

If a move to Spain is off the cards this summer, there could be a heated battle between England's top clubs to secure one of the coups of the transfer window.
Haaland has produced extraordinary numbers since leaving Salzburg for Dortmund, the same path Adeyemi is set to take.
The 21-year-old has registered 80 goals and 18 assists in all competitions in Germany and is on an upward trajectory to becoming one of the greatest strikers in football history.
And given he was born in Leeds, and return to the country will likely appeal, with Man City expected to be in pole position among Premier League suitors.
