CentreDevils understands that Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
The 22-year-old striker has given the green light to the Red Devils, with the clubs now working to secure an agreement on the fee.
Personal terms are expected to be no issue with the financial side already done.
Amorim selected the 22-year-old Slovenian striker as a focal point in his system and considers him to be among Europe’s most promising forwards.
Sesko’s technical ability makes him an ideal fit for Amorim’s system too.
The Slovenian excels at making runs in behind the defence, holding up the ball and is a strong aerial presence.
While his conversion rate and shot accuracy are areas for potential improvement, his overall attacking threat and ability to create opportunities make him a valuable asset.
