  Manchester United are signing Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for £65m plus add-ons. We analyze his promising numbers and the all-round threat he will bring to Old Trafford. The transfer that has dominated headlines this summer should come as little surprise to those who have followed Benjamin Sesko's rapid development. Nearly two meters tall, lightning quick, and possessing a thunderbolt shot, the Slovenian striker appears tailor-made for Premier League football. His physical attributes suggest the transition to England's demanding top flight should pose minimal challenges. After Arsenal explored signing him earlier this summer before ultimately choosing the more experienced Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP, Manchester United have moved decisively to secure Sesko's signature ahead of Newcastle United. While Arsenal opted for immediate impact with the 27-year-old Gyökeres, United are betting on Sesko's vast potential despite his relative youth at 22. The Slovenia i...

  This summer will potentially see a lot of strikers on the move in the transfer market. Here, we analyse some of the individuals who are likeliest to secure big moves. There's a strong sense that the summer transfer window is going to be defined and dominated by the movements of a few very expensive centre-forwards. With the window open again until September, we've identified the strikers worth keeping an eye on and why they're attracting interest.

What a shrewd investment their £20 million outlay proved to be. If they sell him this summer, they'll likely quadruple that – or get close...

  April 26, 2025 Eintracht Frankfurt - RB Leipzig Saturday's Bundesliga clash offers a meeting between third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt and a revitalized RB Leipzig. While the "Eagles" can rely on their home invincibility against the "Red Bulls," the visitors have significantly improved under their new coach. Eintracht Frankfurt have lost both of their competitive meetings against RB Leipzig this season (3-0 away in the DFB-Pokal and 2-1 away in the Bundesliga). However, Eintracht remains unbeaten at home against Leipzig (4 wins, 5 draws). Leipzig haven't faced any other opponent away from home as often in professional football without ever winning. RB Leipzig's tally of 49 points from 30 matches represents their second-worst campaign in the Bundesliga – they have only ever been worse off at this stage in 2017/18 (47 points), the only season in which they have ever missed out on qualifying for the Champions League (finished 6th). Under new coach Zso...
