Manchester United are stepping up their search for a new striker as the transfer window heats up, with three key names emerging as top targets. Meanwhile, Newcastle United are pushing hard for a breakthrough in their pursuit of RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.
United's Three Striker Targets
The Red Devils have been linked with several forwards, but three stand out as potential solutions to their attacking woes:
- A Chelsea misfit: Despite previous rejections, United are reportedly reconsidering a move for a struggling Blues forward who could thrive under Erik ten Hag.
- A proven Premier League scorer: A domestic option with a strong track record is also on their radar.
- An exciting European prospect: A young talent from abroad is being monitored as a long-term investment.
Newcastle's Sesko Pursuit
Meanwhile, Newcastle are making significant progress in their attempts to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The Slovenian striker has impressed in the Bundesliga and could be the marquee signing Eddie Howe's side needs to push for European football next season.
The Magpies face competition for Sesko's signature, but sources suggest they're leading the race and could secure a deal in the coming weeks.
What This Means for United
With Newcastle focusing on Sesko, Manchester United may have a clearer path to secure one of their other targets. The club's hierarchy is under pressure to deliver a quality striker after last season's goal-scoring struggles.
As the transfer saga unfolds, fans of both clubs will be watching closely to see which striker ends up where in what promises to be a fascinating summer of Premier League business.
