Slovenian forward could end up staying in Germany despite interest from Manchester United and Arsenal
Both Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked to RB Leipzig forward, Benjamin Sesko in recent weeks. The Slovenian striker had a terrific season for the German side that has helped him garner interest from multiple clubs.
Sesko made a total of 42 appearances playing as a center-forward. He was a constant threat to score and ended up recording 18 goals and two assists for his team. The 21-year-old has all the makings of a world-class talent.
Despite the interest shown by Manchester United and Arsenal, David Ornstein believes there is a real possibility that the player will stay in Germany. Here’s what Ornstein had to say about it as reported by The Athletic.
“The belief among the English sides is Arsenal hold the upper hand because they can offer Champions League football and stability under manager Mikel Arteta, two things lacking at Chelsea and United. But there is a very real possibility Sesko will opt to stay at Leipzig”
Ornstein went on to say that even if a move to the Premier League was to materialize Arsenal’s hopes of landing the player would have a greater chance of succeeding. This means the Gunners are comfortably in the lead to sign the Slovenian.
Though the chances of Sesko coming to England are very slim, Manchester United might not end up being his destination even if he does. It’s no surprise that the Red Devils don’t come off as a more attractive option to stars right now.
The team has been struggling for the good part of a decade and last season was an eye-opening and painful experience for the fans, to say the least. Anyone coming to Old Trafford at the moment would have to endure a serious amount of pressure to perform.
