Newcastle are reportedly poised to take a huge step in their efforts to beat Manchester United to the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.Sesko on United’s listHaving already secured deals

United are in talks over a deal for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko but face competition from Newcastle, who are looking at replacements for Alexander Isak. Ruben Amorim is in the market for a striker this summer and United have reportedly identified PSG forward Kolo Muani as an alternative option.

RB Leipzig have reportedly set a £69m asking price for striker Benjamin Sesko amid interest from Manchester United and Newcastle United. The forward was said to be a key target of Arsenal, but the Gunners ultimately settled on Viktor Gyokeres, and the Londoners' decision to pull out of the race has opened the pathway for other sides to sign him.
