Benjamin Sesko has been identified as a top target for several clubs this summer.
Arsenal tried pursuing him, but due to finances decided to opt for Viktor Gyokeres instead, however now the transfer saga is in a two-horse race between Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Manchester United have held talks with Sesko’s agents as they push for a move, however, it won’t be an easy deal at all due to the finances involved, with some talks of a possible swap deal with Rasmus Hojlund.
