Manchester United comes after the signing of RB Leipzig -star Benjamin Sesko, and one of the statistics of the striker that Jude Bellingham May, fans reassures that the move is not a gamble
Incoming Manchester United Recruiter Benjamin Sesko is the top scorer under the age of 23 in the five largest competitions in Europe in the past two seasons. Ruben Amorim seems to get a new No. 9 in the form of RB Leipzig-star Sesko, who is the subject of an £ 65.3 million bid from the Red Devils, which could rise to almost £ 74 million as certain add-ons are reached.
Premier League-Rivalen Newcastle have also shown interest during rush hour and have put forward a more lucrative proposal than that of United, but the preference of the 22-year-old is a switch to Old Trafford.
Sesko currently trains separately from his Leipzig colleagues, according to a statement that has released his club, and although some have expressed doubts about his capacities and hefty price tag, his target score statistics speak for themselves.
In the past two seasons, no player younger than 23 years have scored more goals than Sesko in Europe's top five competitions, because he has scored 39 in just 87 games, reports Manchester Even News.
This places him one goal for Real Madrid and England Sensation Jude Bellingham, and five goals for Florian Wirtz, whose summer transfer to Liverpool could establish a British record if certain add-ons are met.
Bayern Munich phenomenon Jamal Musiala, who achieved 33 goals in this period, is in fourth place on the list, followed by PSG's Bradley Barcola and German Ace Maximilian Bavier at 26.
Sesko's impressive goal-scoring record, better than some of Europe's best young talents, will be a welcome sound for Amorim's ears. It suggests that the 22-year-old will not be overwhelmed when he arrives in Manchester, and United is fully dedicated to Sesko, after he has already agreed personal conditions with him.
The current Red Devil Rasmus Hojlund, who also scored 26 goals during this period, underlines the gap between him and Sesko. Although it is not entirely target, since his £ 72 million move to Old Trafford in 2023, the DANE has difficulty meet high expectations.
Now it seems likely that Sesko will join United, and Hojlund is said to be prepared for the possibility of being pushed out like the Slovenian signs. Only two seasons after his transfer of £ 72 million could be available for only £ 30 million, less than half of what was originally paid for him.
During the pre-season tour of United by the US, Hojlund, however, expressed optimism about his future and stated: “I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my place, whatever happens.
“I am still very young. I think people sometimes forget that. I am only only 22. Of course, not every striker scores 100 goals at the age of 22 (like Erling Haaland). But I have learned a lot, I think you can see in my game.
“I am starting to develop and get even better in the base. Now it is almost for me to sharpen myself and I have done it very well in the pre-season so far. I am simply focused on continuing that.
“The competition is fine for me. It sharpened me. I am more than ready. I feel sharp, so I welcome everything that comes. I think it is good with the competition and it just sharpenes the team.”
