Despite Newcastle's £78million offer being accepted by Leipzig, Sesko has dramatically said YES to joining Manchester United, who haven't even reached an agreement with his club!

One club who don't need to sign a striker are Arsenal, whose focus is now on signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.

Having already spent £195m this summer, Gunners also want to sanction a number of sales, just like Chelsea, who are set to recoup £65m by offloading three players.

11:42KEY EVENTNo agreement between Liverpool and Al-Hilal for Nunez

Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool this summer but a deal with Saudi side Al-Hilal is yet to be agreed.

The PIF-backed club are willing to pay almost £50million up front but there's currently no agreement.

Nunez has given no indication if he will agree to a move to the Middle East either.

Liverpool remain tight lipped on the matter.

Manchester United are moving fast.

Jamie Donley has joined Championship side Stoke City on loan for the 2025/26 season.

Good luck, Jamie!



— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 6, 2025 09:45Nathan RidleyWhat now for Newcastle?

It's not been the summer which Newcastle fans were hoping for.

Despite securing Champions League football, the Magpies have missed out top targets such as James Trafford, Hugo Ekitike and Joao Pedro - all to Premier League rivals - and now Benjamin Sesko is set to join that list.

So, who should they go for instead if Alexander Isak is indeed destined for Liverpool?

Ollie Watkins would be a safe bet but Aston Villa won't part ways easily.

Newcastle also made a £25million bid for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, who's recently come back off strike, earlier in the window.

Could they take a punt on Nicolas Jackson, who Chelsea are willing to offload?

Or what about going abroad?

Paris Saint-Germain's Goncalo Ramos has been mentioned.

Darwin Nunez is closing in on a move to Al-Hilal after the Saudi Arabian giants agreed a deal with Liverpool.

Manchester United privately believe that Benjamin Sesko wants to join them instead of Newcastle.

Sesko, 22, is at the centre of a tug-of-war between the two Premier League clubs, who've both held positive talks with RB Leipzig.

Newcastle's second bid and the Red Devils' first are in the same region but differ in terms of structure.

Even though Leipzig would earn more up front by selling to Newcastle, Ruben Amorim's side believe that the Slovenian prefers them.
