Manchester, England – Wetin dey happen for football world as Manchester United don finally agree deal wey fit take RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko go Old Trafford. E no easy as Newcastle United don dey fight for the same boy, but at the end, Na Man U get the upper hand, abi na luck? (Who talk say luck no dey?)
Last-last, United don put down some serious cash – a whopping £73.7 million be the gist, which dey include £66.3 million wey dem go pay straight and small small add-ons. Pundits dey shout say this deal get as e dey sweet, but make we no forget say money for football na like salt for soup, e dey matter.
Benjamin Sesko, wit 39 goals from 87 matches for Leipzig, na young striker wey dey shine like star for Bundesliga. E self don show say e fit carry any ball (from any angle) enter net, like matador wey dey chase bull. No wonder Man U don dey eye am since 2019 when e just dey 16 years old and dey play ball for NK Domzale. Dem dey call am ‘next Haaland’ but no be everybody fit carry that name o!
But why Sesko go pick United over Newcastle, wey dey ready to give am Champions League football? Well, sometimes e be like say where you come from matter pass money. E don dey settle for Old Trafford na for reasons wey fit pass football – loyalty, legacy, or just juju from the fans? (No one fit sabi the true motive, but we dey feel am sha).
As Newcastle dey regroup, after dem miss out on plenty high-profile players like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, dem go dey wonder wetin dey happen to their recruitment strategy. Dem dey under pressure as dem need new striker since Callum Wilson don chop free desert for West Ham. To miss out on another top player fit break their spirit, especially after last season wey dem do well. Na serious palava! (E no easy, abeg.)
For Man U, dis move dey signify more than just signing a new striker; na opportunity to reshuffle dem front line. With Rasmus Hojlund and Josh Zirkzee not too dey perform last season, sesko go bring better energy. Coaches dey smile as dem dey plan big with Ruben Amorim, but nothing wey e fit do without solve dem midfield wahala and sometimes, replace a leaking goalkeeper.
Time dey tick as e go be medical on Friday; we fit finally see if all dis hype go turn to reality. Wit Sesko joining, Man U don dey near the £200 million mark for their summer spending. More fire dey come as dem go need sell players for balance!
So the summer transfer window dey hot o! All eyes dey on Sesko, and we go dey follow the action closely, as football no dey sleep. E be like say we dey ready for di new season, how far dem go carry us go? Ah! Sky is the limit, or how dem go talk am. (Make we just enjoy the ride, my padi!)
