Junior Adamu

Junior Adamu’s 2025-26 season was split between Freiburg and Celtic, with nine Bundesliga appearances and one goal before a February loan to Glasgow brought four Celtic appearances and no goals. The return pointed to a peripheral attacking role rather than a striker carrying regular scoring responsibility.

Junior Adamu’s ratings sat in a narrow band, with a 6.67 season average, a 7.1 high and a 6.37 low. That suggested steady rather than decisive form, with limited separation between his best and poorest rated performances.

Junior Adamu’s career has taken him through FC Liefering, St. Gallen, Red Bull Salzburg, Freiburg, Celtic and Schalke 04. His best recorded scoring spell came at Red Bull Salzburg, where he scored 10 goals in 2022-23 after seven in 2021-22, before lower returns at Freiburg and a short Celtic loan.

Junior Adamu’s transfer history was defined by Freiburg’s €8.1m deal to sign him from Red Bull Salzburg in July 2023. Around that fee, the moves were mostly developmental or temporary – a trainee move to FC Liefering, an undisclosed switch to Salzburg, a St. Gallen loan and a February 2026 loan from Freiburg to Celtic.
