Whereas the all-time Premier League file goalscorer is determined to see Newcastle make some high-quality signings after a disastrous window up to now, he’s not sure whether or not Sesko is essentially the most appropriate selection.
United and Newcastle are neck and neck of their strikes for the Slovenian worldwide, with the participant stated to be barely leaning in the direction of the previous regardless of their lack of European soccer all through 2025/2026.
From RB Leipzig’s perspective, they’d probably reasonably do a take care of the Magpies, as they’ve made it clear they’re prepared to pay no matter it takes so as to add Sesko to their ranks earlier than 2025/2026 will get underway.

Inside a matter of days, they’d prioritised the Leipzig starlet, with director of recruitment Christopher Vivell spearheading the membership’s curiosity as a result of his prior connections with the 22-year-old, having performed an integral function in Sesko signing for RB Salzburg again in 2019.

Signing these youthful skills who’ve not totally developed hasn’t been a profitable path to take for the Reds in recent times – therefore why they’re contemplating parting methods with Rasmus Hojlund after solely two seasons.
Shearer has echoed such a sentiment this week, as he advised The Relaxation Is Soccer panel: “With Sesko, I do know he’s younger, however that will be a raffle since you’re going to need to pay a decent-sized price.
“I noticed him two or 3 times within the Champions League final season and there’s positively room for enchancment.
“Sure, there’s actually a expertise there however there’s loads of enchancment that may be made as nicely. You’re bringing somebody who’s unknown into the Premier League and that’s at all times a little bit of a threat.”
