Premier League Tug-of-War: Šeško Between Magpies and Red Devils
The Premier League is witnessing a transfer tug-of-war as Slovenian striker Benjamin Šeško becomes the center of interest for both Newcastle United (the Magpies) and Manchester United (the Red Devils). Both clubs are keen to bolster their attacking options, with Šeško’s blend of youth, physicality, and goal-scoring potential making him a top target. As the race heats up, the competition highlights the ambition of both sides ahead of the new season, setting the stage for a high-stakes bidding battle.
Benjamin Sesko is one of the most hyped names you’ve heard in the last few days. Many of us may still be unaware of his name. Benjamin is a Serbian forward playing for RB Leipzig in Germany. He was more famous for his jumping strength than scoring.
Last week, Benjamin Sesko was linked with Newcastle United, where if Benjamin showed interest in the Newcastle United project, they would officially submit a bid. As they now require a striker, moreover, as Alexander Isak is willing to leave.
Things seemed settled for Benjamin and Newcastle United. There was hope that Benjamin would be signed for Newcastle United for the Premier League competition. But all of a sudden, a call from Manchester changed things for NUFC.
The call was from Old Trafford, where Manchester United got information on Benjamin Sesko's current status. They clearly showed that Manchester United is willing to go for another forward.
Manchester United already had many attacking options. For the striker position, they had four active names, including Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee. But we all know how much they contributed to Manchester United’s winning case. Things were straight, like if Bruno Fernandes scored, Manchester United would grab it.
Last season, the Red Devils’ upfront contribution in the Premier League was a bit low, where Joshua Zirkzee scored only 2 times, while Rasmus netted the ball 4 times. Similarly, Bruno Fernandes scored 8 times. Whereas in Manchester City’s worst season, Erling Haaland scored 22 times.
A clear indication for Manchester United that they should have to resolve it if they need to compete for a higher finish. A few days ago, Manchester United completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. Mbeumo scored 20 goals last season for Brentford, indicating a strong add-on for Man United.
Benjamin Sesko can uplift this thing more often, where if we went for stats, Benjamin scored 13 times and also assisted 5 times. Benjamin also contributed to the DFB Pokal and UEFA Champions League competitions. His pretty decent stats made him a reliable forward in Europe.
The addition of Mbeumo and Sesko will lift Manchester United in a possible finish among top teams and title contenders as well. But for that, we need to wait a few days until Benjamin Sesko’s things are cleared.
