Ex-Manchester United and Chelsea target Benjamin Sesko proved why he’s so highly touted with a stunning volley for Slovenia against Sweden.
The Premier League did not interest the 19-year old striker this summer. Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig agree to a move in 2023.

Sesko is spending the remainder of this season with the Austrian side before his reported £20million switch to the Bundesliga next term.
Leipzig’s Sesko scored an amazing goal against Sweden to make it look like a snip.
The forward let Petar Stojanovic’s long ball over his shoulder, before unleashing a Robin van Persie-esque volley into the far corner.
The outrageous finish drew comparisons online with Marco van Basten’s iconic goal during the final of Euro 98.
Sesko’s third goal in as many games for his country is all the more impressive considering it came with his supposed weaker foot.
Sweden hit back through Emil Forsberg but Slovenia’s sensation remains the names on many peoples lips.
However, United and Chelsea are two examplesIf they wish to restart their efforts to sign him, they will have to wait.
Any future arrival in Premier League would undoubtedly bring more comparisons to Manchester City superstar Erling Hailand.
But Sesko revealed in an interview in 2021 that some of his teammates believe he’s better than the Norway powerhouse.
“Such comparisons motivate me and give me energy,” Sesko said GOAL – quoted when asked about being likened to Haaland.
“They do not represent pressure. I will listen to him and learn from him so that I can be better than he is.
“My team-mates at the club tell me that Haaland and I are very similar, especially in terms of speed. Most of them even tell me that I’m better than him!”
