E don set again for transfer market as Newcastle United don enter serious contact with the agents of Benjamin Šeško, the Slovenian wonder striker wey dey ball for RB Leipzig.
Reports dey confirm say Newcastle don reach out to Šeško camp to understand how dem fit move this summer. RB Leipzig don already know say one kain serious approach dey happen — but the price tag no cheap at all.
Leipzig dey demand around €80 million for anybody wey wan carry Šeško commot from Bundesliga.
Who Be This Benjamin Šeško?
If you never hear of Benjamin Šeško, abeg make we break am down for you. Na 21-year-old striker wey dey ball fire for RB Leipzig and also na star boy for Slovenia national team.
He tall like giraffe (about 6ft 5), quick like breeze, and him style of play dey remind people of early Erling Haaland. In fact, many dey call am “Haaland 2.0” because of how deadly he dey for front.
Last season, Šeško score 18 goals for Leipzig in all competitions — no be beans. E still dey young but him finishing and off-the-ball movement dey crazy. You no go fit leave am free inside box — na instant wahala.
Why Newcastle Dey Chase Šeško?
Newcastle dey plan upgrade for dia attack. Even though Isak and Callum Wilson dey try, Wilson dey battle injury plenty times and dem need more firepower, especially as dem wan return to Europe and challenge top 4 again.
Šeško fit be that kind long-term investment wey go give dem goals, presence, and fear factor for Premier League. Imagine front line of Isak + Šeško — defenders go begin get headache!
Plus, Newcastle sabi say if dem no move now, bigger clubs go jump enter the race. Na why dem wan act fast before e turn bidding war.
€80M Price Tag – Worth Am?
RB Leipzig no dey rush sell. Dem sabi say Šeško value go only rise more, especially with Euro 2024 wey he shine small. Na why dem dey ask around €80 million for the deal.
For some fans, e fit look too much. But for those wey dey follow Šeško game, dem know say the guy fit become world-class striker in two years time. If he enter EPL now, adjust sharp, and begin deliver — the €80M go turn bargain like wetin we see with Haaland or Nunez.
Other Clubs Dey Eye Am Too
Make we no lie — Newcastle no be the only club wey dey monitor Šeško. Rumours don link am to:
- Arsenal – if dem offload Nketiah
- Chelsea – as usual, dey eye every young talent
- AC Milan and Juventus – still dey monitor from Italy
- Even Real Madrid scouts don dey track am quietly
So if Newcastle really wan seal this deal, dem go need move fast, serious and ready to pay.
TPB View
If Newcastle pull this Šeško deal, na big statement. E go show say dem dey ready battle with top six and build title-challenging squad.
But €80M no be change. Dem need sure say Šeško go deliver from day one.
Still, the upside high — young, physical, clinical, and hungry. Na striker wey fit dey lead line for 7–10 years if dem manage am well.
