IT IS not just Newcastle United who are waiting with bated breath for a decision from key transfer target Benjamin Sesko over his future.

What the Slovenian striker decides in the coming days could have a huge impact across the footballing world, with several deals hanging on the call from the 22-year-old.

Newcastle are keen to bring Sesko to Tyneside as Eddie Howe looks to make a major transfer statement following a difficult summer for the United head coach.

The blow of Alexander Isak’s wish to leave St James’ Park would be softened somewhat if the Newcastle manager was to land Sesko, who is one of the hottest properties in European football.

RB Leipzig have made their demands clear, and it appears it will be down to the player to decide where his future lies, with the striker left out of their squad for Saturday's friendly with Atalanta.
