The Bundesliga club said the 20-year-old Adeyemi signed a contract through June 2027 after completing a medical examination in earlier in the day.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said Adeyemi is a highly talented, young German international who through his strong finishing and incredible pace will make a valuable addition to their attacking play.
Sebastian Kehl, who will take over from Zorc next season, noted that Adeyemi was a Dortmund fan in his youth and that he decided to sign for the club despite several offers from Europe’s top leagues.
Born in Germany to a Nigerian father, Adeyemi, leads the Austrian Bundesliga with 19 goals, and he has scored three for Salzburg in the Champions League. He made his Germany debut in a World Cup qualifier against Armenia and scored his first international goal last September.
