Benjamin Sesko has finally made up his mind about his future, and it’s big news for Premier League fans.
Newcastle win the race for rising star
Newcastle United are closing in on a huge signing this summer window. RB Leipzig are preparing to accept a €90m offer from the Magpies for Benjamin Sesko.
After weeks of transfer buzz, Eddie Howe’s side have jumped ahead of Manchester United in the race for the forward. He is one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers at the moment. Sesko attracted serious attention from top PL clubs. But it’s Newcastle who have acted swiftly, matching Leipzig’s asking price with a structured bid that includes bonuses.
As per journalist Sacha Tavolieri, everything now hinges on Leipzig’s final go-ahead. With personal terms already sorted, it’s only a matter of time before the deal becomes official.
Sesko sold on the Magpies vision
Sesko’s choice to move to Newcastle was not a case of simply wanting money. The similarities in his and club’s ambitions have appealed to him. He will be getting regular starts for the club, and playing UCL football as well. There are multiple sources that indicate he is already excited by the project he is joining at St. James’ Park. He will settle in right away as he will be likely to lead the line for the first team.
With their current striker Alexander Isak likely to move, Newcastle needed a strong goal scorer. Head coach Eddie Howe has wanted to add attacking players. So, Sesko ticks all of those boxes and he can become a future star who can provide goals and consistency.
Once final sign off from Leipzig is obtained, the Newcastle fans will welcome their new number nine. They can hope that he can add to their team’s efforts in the coming seasons.
