BIG BEN'S TIME

- by FELIX KEITH

PETER CROUCH is backing Benjamin Sesko to hit the ground running in the Premier League.

Sesko has joined Manchester United in a £74m deal from RB Leipzig and will play alongside Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in a new-look £200m attack.

The 22-year-old scored 21 goals in 45 games for Leipzig last season and is one of a handful of exciting new strikers in the top flight.

Favourites for the Golden Boot will be Isak, if he gets his situation sorted out, Haaland and Salah, the same old faces,’ said Crouch.

“But out of the new faces, Sesko is the one that I like watching. I'm excited by him.

“There's still the fact that he hasn't played in the Premier League and that is something that you have to look at.

“Can he settle straight away?

“But he's the player that excites me the most out of the new signings” Sesko has landed at Old Trafford after Arsenal opted to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon instead.
