The race to sign RB Leipzig's prolific striker Benjamin Sesko is heating up, with both Manchester United and Chelsea preparing for a summer transfer battle. The 20-year-old Slovenian international has been in scintillating form this season, attracting attention from Europe's elite clubs.
Why Sesko is in High Demand
Sesko's combination of physical presence, technical ability and eye for goal has made him one of the most sought-after young forwards in Europe. Standing at 6'4", the powerful striker has drawn comparisons to Erling Haaland for his playing style and potential.
Manchester United's Interest
United see Sesko as a long-term solution to their striker problems, with the club reportedly ready to make a significant offer. Manager Erik ten Hag is said to be personally driving the pursuit, viewing the youngster as perfect for his system.
Chelsea's Pursuit
Chelsea, meanwhile, are looking to rebuild their attack after a disappointing season. New manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen to add young, dynamic players to his squad, with Sesko fitting the profile perfectly.
The Transfer Stakes
RB Leipzig are known for their tough negotiating stance, having previously secured big-money deals for their star players. The Bundesliga club is expected to demand at least £50 million for their prized asset.
With both Premier League clubs prepared to spend big this summer, this transfer saga promises to be one of the most exciting of the window. Sesko's decision could significantly impact the balance of power in English football next season.
