Career[edit]
Adu started playing football at SC Lerchenberg. He played well at a youth tournament in 2016 and moved to the youth training center of 1. FSV Mainz 05 in the beginning of 2017. He then moved to the youth department of SpVgg Unterhaching in the summer of 2022.[1] On March 4, 2023, he became the youngest player ever in the Under 19 Bundesliga South/Southwest at the age of 15 years and 18 days.
On February 17, 2024, he was called up to the first-team matchday squad for the first time by coach Marc Unterberger. In the 2-1 win against DSC Arminia Bielefeld, Adu was substituted for Aaron Keller in stoppage time, making him the youngest player ever to play in the 3. Liga at the age of just 16 years and three days, replacing the previous record holder Abdoulaye Kamara.[2] At the age of 16 years and 61 days, he scored his first goal in his eighth appearance in the 3. Liga in a 4-1 win against VfB Lübeck. This made him the youngest ever goalscorer in the 3. Liga.[3]
