However, the “injection” is not the only team that wants the signature of this 24 -year -old striker. Manchester United is also aggressively pursuing him, under the direction of the director of the scout Christopher Vivell. Notably, Sesko has been identified as the number one goal of Manchester United in recent weeks, replacing the old choice is Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins.
In addition, Arsenal by coach Mikel Arteta also kept an eye on Sesko but finally chose Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
Despite the fierce competition, Newcastle is still dominating in this deal when Slovenia sources claim that Sesko prioritizes joining St James' Park more than anywhere else.
Meanwhile, the future of Alexander Isak is becoming more and more unstable. The Swedish striker withdrew from Newcastle's seasonal trip on the grounds of a ribbed injury, but was found to be practicing alone at his former team Real Sociedad. Coach Howe admitted he was not informed:
“I only know where he is through the media. Everything is quite complicated and completely ideal.”
Newcastle values Isak at £ 150 million, the number worthy of a striker has scored 54 goals in the Premier League since 2022. However, the club has also confirmed: No sales will take place without a worthy replacement. And Benjamin Sesko is the No. 1 target. With the ideal speed, technique and bodybuilding, Sesko is considered the name that converges full quality to inherit Isak's position and continue to enhance Newcastle's attack in the new season.
