Newcastle have raised their bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Manchester United had still to submit a formal offer for the Slovenia international as of Monday afternoon.

Newcastle are in a strong position as things stand after a day of positive talks held by their co-owner Jamie Reuben with Leipzig and Sesko.

TBR Football have stated that Sesko will make a decision on his future, on Wednesday, as to which club he would prefer to join. As well as Newcastle, Manchester United are also showing an interest in signing Sesko. The Magpies have already made a £65.5million bid for the Slovenia international.
