Sesko, one of Europe’s most promising young attackers, is a poster child for the classic “number nine.” He has already witnessed the likes of Florian Wirtz, Lamine Yamal, and Jamal Musiala make significant waves in Germany.
The 21-year-old is the focal point of Slovenia’s hopes to advance to a major tournament’s knockout stages for the first time on Tuesday, knowing that victory over England would guarantee qualifying.
Although the RB Leipzig striker did not score in Slovenia’s initial two Euro 2024 matches—draws against Denmark and Serbia—Gareth Southgate’s team will be aware of the striker’s immense threat.
The dreams of a nation may rest on his shoulders, but in his young career, pressure has not affected him. No one realized he was so exceptional.
After joining Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg, he scored 14 goals in 31 games the previous season, winning over the supporters.
Due to his performance, he attracted interest from several elite European teams, including Chelsea and Arsenal, before agreeing to a new contract in June to put an end to the rumors.
Slovenian journalist Miran Zore of Nogomania.com stated: “At the age of sixteen, he moved from Domzale to Salzburg, leaving Slovenia very young.” He had talent from the beginning.
