Benjamin Sesko is getting closer to a move to Manchester United, but the RB Leipzig striker has been compared in the past with Manchester City Star Erling Haaland
Transfer goal from Manchester United, Benjamin Sesko, has earned comparisons with Erling Haaland and the 22-year-old hopes to become “even better” than the Star of Manchester City. Sesko is currently central in a large transfer battle.
Newcastle had rejected an opening bid on Sesko by RB Leipzig, but has since returned with an improved offer worth an initial £ 69.5 million plus £ 8.6 million in add-ons. In the meantime, the Red Devils have also submitted a bid of £ 65.2 million in the front and £ 8.6 million to add-ons.
However, it is claimed that those in Manchester are sure that Sesko prefer a switch to Old Trafford above a switch to Newcastle. It is still to be seen what the future has in store for Sesko, but he is an exciting young prospect that is compared to Haaland.
Sesko essentially replaced Haaland in Red Bull Salzburg after leaving the club for Borussia Dortmund and the Slovenia International claimed that most of his teammates believe that he is better.
Sesko approached the comparisons and explained that his electric pace was the property that is most similar to Haaland. “Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy,” he said.
“They don't represent pressure. I will listen and learn, so I can be even better than him. My teammates in the club tell me that gaandand and I look very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most tell me that I am better than he!”
Sesko also regards Haaland as one of his idols and adds: “He is a great player, I have a great respect for him and I usually watch a lot of YouTube videos about him. I am very happy that I have received Haaland's Jersey. I want [to] Keep it for my Jersey collection. He also said 'well played', I was very happy. “
The Red Devils have a potential lead over Newcastle in the form of Christopher Vivell, who is currently working as their director of recruitment. Vivell is credited for discovering Sesko when he was in Salzburg and leads their movement for the rush.
And Vivell has previously stated that Sesko is a “special player” who has “huge potential”. In 2022, Vilvell said: “Benjamin Sesko is one of the best young talents of the game and has a huge potential to become a top player.
“He has all the qualities to do that. He is extremely fast, has a big leap on him and is strong in the air. Benjamin is a real goal scorer, which is mobile and technically strong despite his 1.95m (6'4”). His skills make him a special player with a special profile. “
