Benjamin Sesko discusses Erling Haaland comparisons and surpassing Man City star amid Newcastle link

Benjamin Sesko claims comparisons made to Erling Haaland do not represent pressure as the Slovenian striker looks to surpass his predecessor. The 19-year-old has been dubbed 'Mini Haaland' after an impressive breakthrough season with the Austrian side and a number of Premier League clubs have been alerted by his displays.

Like Sesko, Manchester City new boy Haaland started out his career with Red Bull Salzburg before taking the Bundesliga by storm with Borussia Dortmund. Sesko looks to be the next talent off the remarkable conveyor belt at the Austrian club, with his agent touching down on Tyneside earlier today.

His representatives shared photographs from Newcastle Airport and then the Quayside, creating a frenzy on social media linking the Magpies with the up and coming star. While it remains unclear whether the Magpies have held talks with his agent, there's plenty to be excited about.
