Jurgen Klopp says Benjamin Sesko has great potential

Jurgen Klopp says he is ‘happy’ to have Benjamin Sesko at RB Leipzig, praising the forward’s ‘incredible potential’ with the likes of Chelsea and ARSENAL just two clubs that are interested in a potential move

The likes of Arsenal and Chelsea have long been credited with an interest in Sesko, who has scored 30 goals in 66 games for RB Leizpig, and there was talk that moves were made in the last summer window.

However – despite all the speculation and all the rumours, Sesko snubbed a move to the Premier League and made the decision to stay put at RB, Where he is continuing his development into a top striker.

Klopp says he is ‘happy’ to have Benjamin Sesko at RB Leipzig and has stressed that he and Leipzig head coach Rose are focussed on ensuring the attacker ‘scores as many goals as possible’ while he is still at the club, but believes Sesko has great potential.

‘My plans with him are that he scores more goals like he scored on Sunday. That was a really good one,’ Klopp told reporters when asked what the future holds for Sesko while facing the media today.

‘I was pretty impressed, he played a good game. He’s a good player anyway.

‘I’ve actually known him for a while, I knew him already when he was at Salzburg. I think we played a friendly game here when he was very, very young.

‘I was really impressed, I thought, “Where do they get all these players?, ridiculous.’

‘I have no plans with him, just to make that clear. Don’t get it wrong, I will not show up in training and tell them what to do,’ Klopp added

‘Our plan, and I don’t have to ask Marco Rose what his plan is with him [Sesko], I know it… he wants to help him score as many goals as possible.

‘He has space for improvement, space for development, incredible skillset, incredible potential so I’m happy that we have him.’
