Manchester United has opened conversations to sign RB Leipzig’s forward Benjamin Sesko this summer, according to Ben Jacobs.
This summer Sesko has been the subject of sharp interest under Premier League clubs. First, it was Arsenal who had him on their radar before he chose to sign Viktor Gyokeres, probably because of the steep appreciation of Leipzig.
Newcastle United is reportedly also planning to sign Sesko after he has lost Hugo Ekitike, with the Leipzig star now the most important target of Eddie Howe to replace Want-Away Alexander Isak.
However, it seems that Man Utd hopes to surpass their Premier League rivals, because Jacobs claims that the Red Devils have opened formal conversations to sign the 6ft 3 in advance.
The journalist adds that the Premier League giants have sent a delegation to Germany under the leadership of the club director of Recruitment, Christopher Vivell, while looking at Newcastle in the race for the signature of the Slovenian.
Although the Center-Forward Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa is said to be an option for Ruben Amorim, it seems that the club is already accelerating the efforts to sign Sesko and optimistic, Leipzig will lower their price to £ 60 million, according to the report.
Sesko to United
United has strengthened their team this summer with three new additions. They have signed two attackers, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, who can both work as central strikers, but are expected to fill the favorite two number 10 positions of Ruben Amorim, while promising Paraguayan left back Diego Leon has also joined Cerro Poro.
Sesko is now the next target of the club, and rightly so, because there is more to the 22-year-old than just a classic number nine.
He has an impressive pace, is skilled in receiving the ball to feet with his back to goal, and is equally effective when playing the shoulder of the last defender to lock balls.
He is also able to score a wide range of goals of different distances. He has shown higher development steps and the current first choice of United, Rasmus Hojlund, surpassed in various essential statistics, despite the fact that both players were the same old.
United ended 15th last season and Amorim will hope that the club will make sufficient reinforcements, especially in attack, because he will follow the club to a European finish next season.
