Manchester United has reportedly completed the record signing of 22-year-old forward Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The contract is said to be worth £73.7 million. This acquisition would have a huge influence on the club’s future. Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim is one of Europe’s most hyped-up coaches and he is intrigued by Sesko’s talents. Standing at 6-foot-5, Sesko’s physical talents are hard to imagine. Even more so with his deceptive pace, he is well-equipped to adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
In the last two campaigns, Sesko has offered glimpses of that elite goal-scoring promise. He has now scored a remarkable 39 goals in all competitions for RB Leipzig. This even extends to an eye-popping count of 27 from Bundesliga expected goals from opportunities valued at only 17.6 xG. As stated, he has a really impressive knack to score above his expected goals. Last season, he was one of only three players in the entire Premier League to exceed expected goals by six or more. Despite these achievements, some analysts suggest that his goal output may not immediately rival that of other top talents like Viktor Gyokeres.
Ruben Amorim has certainly given Sesko a vote of confidence. He touted the player’s unique talents, foreshadowing a promising career to come. Furthermore, Matej Orazem, a prominent figure in Sesko’s career development, stated, “I think he is destined for greatness. It is not just the physicality, it is the technical aspect. He will be successful wherever he goes.”
The addition of Sesko to Manchester United means new things for the Red Devils. Given some specialized coaching, he’s primed to develop his hold-up game tremendously. With no European football this season, he can afford to spend time polishing his skills. This break allows him to adjust to his new surroundings. This commitment to professional growth will be important as he works to live up to the high expectations set for him.
Scouts from all over Europe are now comparing Sesko to some of the best known stars in the game, including Alexander Isak and Harry Kane. Yet, the difference in their price tags is stark, just as their current performance metrics. Analysts have a high opinion of Sesko’s goal-scoring instincts. They imply he will take a path like that of other successful forwards, regularly scoring better than statistical models predict.
