Benjamin Sesko was unveiled on Saturday to Man Utd -fans in Old Trafford after completing his transfer of RB Leipzig.
The striker has signed a five-year-old deal with the Red Devils after they have agreed to pay the East German Outfit a first fee of £ 66.3 million. That could rise to almost £ 74 million with add-ons.
Sesko was a highly sought after player this summer; Arsenal had been connected to him since last summer, but instead decided to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, while Newcastle United made two failed bids for him.
The 22-year-old scored 39 goals in 97 performances for Leipzig in the past two seasons, more than any other player under the age of 23 in Europe’s top five competitions in that period.
After the transfer was confirmed, Sesko said that he is enthusiastic to become a member of a club with a “very special” history and want to reach his “maximum level”, while he helps man Utd again to win “the biggest trophies”.
Director of Voetbal Jason Wilcox said that the new signing “has a rare combination of exciting pace and the ability to physically dominate defenders, making him one of the most exceptional young talents in world football.”
Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim was “real, very happy” to welcome the Slovenia -International in the club, and praised his characteristics and work rate.
“He is a player who, with all the information we have, we have to prevent the man from working! He is not the opposite, so that is also important,” he said.
“He is really young, he is good in the air, he is good to let the channels run, he is good on the ball. So I think he has a great potential.”
Sesko was paraded for the supporters this afternoon for the supporters prior to their pre-season-friendly against Fiorentina, in addition to their other summer arrivals, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon.
