Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea & Newcastle target open to January move

Benjamin Sesko, a long-term target for Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United, is open to a Premier League move in January, 90min understands.

The 20-year-old joined RB Leipzig from sister club Salzburg last summer, but has played second fiddle to the outstanding Lois Openda during the first few months of the 2023/24 season.

Sesko has started just three Bundesliga matches from a possible 16, with the majority of his appearances coming in short cameos from the substitutes' bench, and got the nod in just two of Leipzig's six Champions League group Games.

90min has reported extensively on the interest from Premier League sides in Sesko, most notably from United, Arsenal and Chelsea, while Newcastle have also kept a close eye on the Slovenian's development.

Intermediaries had previously made it known that Sesko could be available to move in January, with more playing time firmly on the agenda as he prepares to lead the Slovenia line at Euro 2024.

90min understands that nothing has changed in that regard, and all interested Premier League clubs have again been informed of the potential of agreeing a deal. A loan with an obligation to buy, should certain criteria be met, has been suggested, and Sesko's Game is one many top scouts feel is suited to top-level English Football.

Leipzig paid just £20m for Sesko last summer and would rather keep him at the club as they bid to join Bayer Leverkusen in attempting to dethrone Bayern Munich. But the opportunity to cash in on Sesko and potentially double their money is something that would not be dismissed out of hand.

Manchester United signed Rasmus Hojlund in a deal potentially worth £72m in the summer, but he could be the club's only recognised striker next summer should Anthony Martial leave on a free transfer as expected.

Arsenal's first-choice striker Gabriel Jesus has struggled with injury problems, leading Mikel Arteta to consider alternative options, while Chelsea are yet to provide Mauricio Pochettino with the out and out number nine he desperately needs at Stamford Bridge.

Newcastle would appear to be in the Healthiest position, with Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson their options, but they too have struggled to stay fit during an injury-ravaged season on Tyneside.

Watch: Life Inside the Largest Aircraft Carrier in the World, Costing $13 Billion, in the Middle of the Ocean

Image
Welcome back to the FLUCTUS channel for a feature of the Gerald R Ford Class, the world’s biggest aircraft carrier at sea. With a full load displacement of 100,000t and the 78m-wide flight deck, this amazing warship has the capacity to carry more than 75 aircraft and accommodate 4,539 personnel, including the ship’s company, air wing and other support staff. A carrier strike group is huge, consisting of roughly 7500 personnel. 1 Aircraft Carrier, 2 Guided Missile Cruisers, 2 Anti-Aircraft Warships, and 1-2 Anti-Submarine Destroyers or Frigates. 65 – 70 aircraft. Now multiply that by 11 for the US Navy alone. Maybe one day we’ll be able to spend all these billions of dollars toward something which isn’t for national defense, until then, I’m glad we’re able to do so. I was on the Oriskany and Ticonderoga between 66 and 69. Both ships had one enlisted mess. I remember during non flight days, it was get in line all day long. 2000 or so crew members waiting to get fed in a 3...

Abandoned Cat Is Adopted And He Can’t Stop Kissing His New Owner

Image
I am always saddened when we get a call at the shelter about an abandoned animal, but I’m also glad that I can help. In this story, a rescue center worker thanked the people who called them and did their best to rescue this cat.  Valentino was left on the street but luckily, a kind shelter worker found and rescued him.  This shabby orange cat was left on the street, presumably after his owners moved away. The shelter workers first thought he was a female cat because he was extremely malnourished and also neutered. The shelter worker that saved him says: “He just allowed to be picked up and he wasn’t moving. So it’s worse than I thought!” When they got to the veterinary clinic, the cat had a temperature, and as they examined him it was visible how skinny he was. His fur was shabby and he had patches of skin showing.  The vet examined him and his big forehead abscess.  He was in pretty ...
