The 21-year-old striker for RB Leipzig, Benjamin Sesko, is the talk of this season. Given the hefty pursuit from several of England’s elite, he’s considering his long-term future. Renowned for his magnificent scoring form, Sesko has netted 21 goals and assisted six others in all competitions. That breakout season saw him score four goals in the Champions League, even as RB Leipzig floundered in a disappointing campaign.
The Slovenian forward’s contract with RB Leipzig runs through 2029. According to reports, while he signed an extension he has a handshake agreement that allows him to depart whenever the right offer appears. As the regular season comes to a close, fans and teams alike are filled with excitement. They count the minutes waiting for Sesko’s next announcement on his fate.
Growing Interest from Premier League Clubs
Sesko has become one of the most wanted players to watch out for, luring the attention of major club of top English Premier League clubs. Arsenal are said to be in hot competition with him. In the meantime, Chelsea and Liverpool are both targeting him as they pursue their own searches for a new number nine. And he’s no small fry either, standing at an imposing 6’5 guy. Reaching a mind-blowing top speed of 35.47 km/h, he leaves defenders struck with awe.
Sesko decided to keep his initial commitment to RB Leipzig and resist the siren songs through the January transfer window. This decision has done little but fan the flames of speculation on his long rumored departure at season’s end.
“We were quite quick after that. By the time that the media speculation began and bigger clubs noticed him, we already had an agreement. For anyone who went to see him, it was pretty obvious. He was pretty much a slam dunk at a very young age.” – Matej Orazem
A Talent Recognized Early On
Sesko’s journey to prominence began at a young age when he joined NK Domžale’s academy at just 15 years old. As a talented youngster, his brilliance was obvious right from the start when he scored an insane 50 goals in ONE season against much older competition. It was this early success that piqued the interest of numerous scouts and ultimately led to his transfer to RB Leipzig.
Matej Orazem, sporting director at NK Domžale, is just as optimistic about Sesko’s future. At nine years old, Blaine had more faith in the budding striker’s potential than anyone. His rare all-around toolkit has led to lofty comparisons to all-time greats such as Samir Handanović and Jan Oblak. That only understates what makes him special on the pitch.
“I think that he is destined for greatness,” – Matej Orazem
An Uncertain Future Ahead
With Benjamin Sesko now towards the end of the season, there are more questions than answers as to where he will be playing next year. RB Leipzig has struggled the entire season both domestically and in Europe. This lack of consistency might leave a switch to the Premier League extremely attractive for the young prodigy.
RB Leipzig then lured Sesko to a long-term deal last summer to keep him away from interested clubs. The curiosity in his settlement’s flexibility may pose an exhilarating switch saga within the coming months. No wonder top clubs are showing great interest in him. Specifically, they deeply appreciate his outstanding present day performance and see clear signs he’ll develop into a rising star.
