Last season's Premier League silver boot winner, Isak, has stated he wants to leave and will not accompany Newcastle to Singapore for their preseason matches. Newcastle is diligently looking for a replacement for Isak. Since Brentford has already lost Mbeumo to Manchester United, they are not willing to let Vissa go, forcing Newcastle to seek new candidates for the striker role.
According to the latest reports from journalist Jacob, Newcastle has discussed personal terms with Sesko this Friday, as Leipzig is interested in selling the 22-year-old Slovenian forward during this summer transfer window. Signing Sesko won't be easy for Newcastle, as his market value is set at €70 million. Previous reports indicate that Sesko, whose current contract runs until 2029, has reached an amicable agreement with Leipzig, stating that they would be willing to let him go for an offer of €80 million. Newcastle will make a bid for Sesko based on the current situation, which will likely lead to a price negotiation battle.
The 22-year-old Sesko stands at 1.95 meters tall and plays as a right-footed striker. Last season, he made 45 appearances for Leipzig across all competitions, scoring 21 goals and providing 6 assists.
