Sesko transferred to RB Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2017 and has since scored seven goals in the Bundesliga for his first team.
Before signing Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United showed interest in the 20-year-old.Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are vying for the services of Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, who is expected to depart Napoli at the season’s end. PSG is looking to replace Kylian Mbappe.
John Obi Mikel, a former Chelsea midfielder who keeps in touch with Osimhen, said last week that the Napoli forward might be open to a summer transfer to Chelsea.
