Leipzig, Germany – The football world don dey shine eye for one young striker like say na gold. Benjamin Sesko, wey dey carry £70 million price tag, don catch the attention of big teams for Premier League. At just 22 years old, the Slovenia international don dey link with clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea for long time now. But wetin make am hot cake like this? (Maybe na because e dey score goals like say dem wan catch am!)
Select big, strong, and quick no be small. Sesko don dey draw comparisons with Erling Haaland, and no, na no be just because dem both play for Salzburg. E get the knack for scoring goals, and for two seasons, e don rack up 39 goals across competitions (na wah!). Last season, e improve as all-rounder, dey touch ball more for wings and midfield for Leipzig. E fit waka fast pass your grandma on her best day, clocking 35.7 km/h. No be joke o!
A recruitment expert wey dey work for higher level talk say, “E no go fear physical aspect of Premier League. Na wetin some players dey struggle with, but Sesko fit handle am.” If e fit blend well, na who no go wan sign am? Since e don dey score pass all the boys wey dey under 23 category for Europe’s top leagues, imagine wetin go happen if the right team snatch am! (E go shine like diamond!)
For Leipzig, na where ben don dey shine bright after e leave Salzburg in 2023. This boys don dey chop goals like they dey chop jollof rice. E score six goals for Champions League, no small feat. E don dey top goalscorer list for players under 23, wey dey break neck and hearts alike for Bundesliga. Plus, e dey lethal from long range. 36.8% of his shots na from outside box! Talk about being a danger zone!
The young star no dey rest, and last season na suffer suffer for Leipzig, but with all the hype around am, big clubs dey quench thirst for am. Manchester United don make am their top priority. But my padi, no forget Arsenal and Chelsea too. Dem dey eye the boy like say dem wan buy ice cream for summer. Arsenal jettison am for Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, but Chelsea, wey don spend big money recently, still dey give am side eye.
How e go fit handle the pressure wey dey come with this fateful season? Some experts dey believe am. “He has a good attitude. He is relentless,” one source don yarn. Even though players dey look sharp when dem get good mentors. Sesko dey idolise Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so if e fit borrow just small swag from him, na wah! (Abeg no go turn mumu o!)
“He is not the finished product yet. Right now, he is one of the best strikers in Europe, but he still has room for improvement,” talk another analyst, wey suppose know well-well. E get room to grow and shine, and everybody dey expect am to blow once e hit premier stage. If one top club land am, dem fit chop beta result!”
So, wetin be the next move for Sesko? Na only time go tell. Leipzig don fail to qualify for Europe this season, so one of these summer transfers fit happen once club fit meet their £70 million request (unless dem wan play market na). No be all clubs fit afford am, but Premier League clubs and Saudi teams dey ready to flex their financial muscle.
<p”Na intriguing time to maintain eye on this football signature,” a fan don comment. “If he no land for one top club this summer, I dey believe we fit hear more gist as season dey run!
