Adamu was brought to Celtic as a late addition to strengthen the attack under Martin O’Neill in January but struggled to make a significant impact. He started his Celtic career positively, netting a crucial injury-time winner on debut against Dundee, which was part of Celtic's successful Scottish Cup campaign. However, he ended his time at the club with just one goal in six appearances.
Now more established at Schalke, Adamu has earned his place back in the Austrian national team. In the match against Kosovo, with Austria already leading, Xaver Schlager assisted Patrick Wimmer, who then squared the ball for Adamu to score. This goal marks a milestone for Adamu on his tenth appearance for Austria, contributing to the team's strong start in Group B of League 3.
