Chelsea have entered the race for Red Bull Salzburg hot shot Benjamin Sesko in another blow to Manchester United's transfer hopes.
The Blues already look to have muscled their way in on negotiations involving Frenkie de Jong and are confident they can get a deal for the Barcelona star over the line before the deadline. Now ESPN claim Chelsea have made initial enquiries to Salzburg for 19-year-old striker Sesko with a view to wrapping up a transfer this month.
The Slovenian teenager has been attracting interest from across Europe amid comparisons with Erling Haaland and has already got off the mark in the Austrian league this season with a goal in Salzburg's opening win. United are already believed to have held talks over signing Sesko, but the lure of Champions League football at Stamford Bridge could prove tempting.
