Newcastle United have submitted a formal offer to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, a report has revealed, as Manchester United continue to explore a move for the Slovenia international.
The Magpies turned to Šeško late last month after being rocked by Liverpool’s approach for Alexander Isak and subsequent acquisition of Hugo Ekitiké, who had been Newcastle’s preferred target—the belief at the time was that manager Eddie Howe planned to play the two strikers together, rather than Ekitiké, Šeško or anybody else being a direct replacement for Isak.
