Sesko edging closer to decision as Premier League interest intensifies

Manchester United are understood to have recently made contact with the player's representatives to explore the conditions of a potential deal, joining an increasingly competitive race for the 22-year-old.

Newcastle United, meanwhile, remain firmly in the picture. The Magpies outlined their long-term project to Sesko last week and are prepared to table a formal bid should the player give the green light.

Club sources suggest that conversations between Newcastle and the player's camp have been ongoing, with both sides maintaining open dialogue.

The Slovenian international has been on the radar of several top European clubs following an impressive campaign, and the current interest from England's top flight reflects his growing stature in the game.

While no final agreement has yet been reached, both Newcastle and United are believed to be optimistic about their respective chances.

A decision on Sesko's future is expected imminently, with the striker keen to settle on his next destination before the new season gets fully underway. His next move is likely to have a significant impact on the forward line of whichever club secures his signature.
