After many months of rumors and fierce competition, Benjamin Sesko finally made a decision for the future, and the Slovenian striker's choice could create a seismic in the summer transfer window in the Premier League.
Benjamin Sesko chose Newcastle instead of Man United
According to Delo (Slovenia), Benjamin Sesko will join Newcastle, despite the strong attention from Manchester United and Arsenal before. This is considered a big shot of “injection” when winning the race to win the signature of one of the brightest young strikers in Europe.
Newcastle followed Sesko for a long time and considered him an ideal replacement if Alexander Isak left. The Swedish player is pressuring to be transferred after refusing to take part in the summer tour, with the reason for the thigh injury and currently practicing at Real Sociedad, his former team.

Liverpool cost £ 110 million for Isak but was rejected, when Newcastle resolutely held a price of £ 150 million. Even so, the army of the Northeast of England also understood that if Isak left, they needed a quality plan immediately, and Sesko was the name that was always on the list from the beginning.
Leipzig has an underground agreement that he will leave if he receives a reasonable offer. Newcastle is expected to spend about 60 to 70 million pounds with surcharges to get the signature of this 1m94 tall striker.
With Manchester United, this is an unfortunate failure. “Red Devils” once considered Sesko as the last piece in the new attack under coach Ruben Amorim. Recruitment Director Christopher Vivell, who worked with Sesko at Red Bull Salzburg, is the one who promotes the deal and praised the 22 -year -old striker as one of the most potential strikers in the world.
After abandoning the goal of Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), United put all his efforts to Sesko. Arsenal even squeezed into the race before turning to Viktor Gyokeres. But in the end, all were surpassed by Newcastle.
Now, United was forced to find another plan. They had the initial contacts with Yoane Wissa (Brentford) and Jorgen Strand Larsen (Wolves), while the future of Rasmus Hojlund was still unclear. Although the Danish striker claimed to stay and compete in the position, the Board of Directors was still willing to refresh the attack.
Last season, Benjamin Sesko scored 21 goals in all competitions for RB Leipzig and had 16 goals after 41 caps on the Slovenia team. He is often compared to “new Haaland” thanks to the ideal body, breakthrough speed and finishing techniques, a model of the most modern striker today.
