Brilliant £43m star to make decision about joining Chelsea ‘within three weeks’ says agent
Before the summer Euros begin, Benjamin Sesko will make a decision on his future. Chelsea is reportedly interested in signing the striker.
The Blues broke their own transfer record by spending a lot of money during the summer transfer window to add a number of players they believe will help lead the team into a new era of trophy victories.
Nevertheless, despite Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson’s impressive play, many people think the team still lacks a striker who can consistently score goals; Ivan Toney is one such player who has been linked to the team.
CHELSEA are favourites to land Toney as they look to add a notable striker to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, and the 27-year-old is believed to be open to leaving Brentford at the end of the season.
But his £100 million asking price may put alot of clubs offf in the summer window because of the financial fair play rules – meaning that the likes of Chelsea may have to switch attentions to the likes of Sesko.
According to a recent report on GiveMeSport, Sesko has a release clause of £43m in his existing contract, an amount that Chelsea would be willing to shell out.
His agent has now confirmed he will make his decision within three weeks and Sesko will either sign a new contract with RB Leipzig or leave the club this summer, reports Fabrizio Romano.
He is regarded as one of the finest young strikers in the game – and fits the type of player that the Chelsea board are looking to sign in the future.
And if you believe the words of reporter Iomie Stanley – he could be a great signing for the club: ‘The lad is showing all the potential and quality that will determine how far he goes in the game.
‘If e makes the right move at the right time of his career – he could be one of the best and could potentially be a great signing for Chelsea.’
