Junior Adamu, born 6 June 2001 (age 25), is an Austrian striker now with Schalke 04. His early senior football came in Austria, where his most productive league season was with FC Liefering in 2019-20: 14 goals in 20 appearances, a useful return rather than something needing inflated.
After a spell at Freiburg, Adamu joined Celtic in February 2026. It was a brief Celtic connection, but not an empty one: he was part of the side that won the 2025-26 Premiership. His market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
By 2026-27 he was with Schalke, making five Bundesliga appearances. He has also remained involved with Austria, scoring in his single Nations League appearance this season.
Adamu’s career has taken him from Liefering through Freiburg and Celtic to Schalke, with a league title in Scotland and senior international minutes for Austria along the way.
