Manchester United have made Benjamin Cesco their priority transfer target, but what makes the RB Leipzig striker so attractive?
The 22-year-old was previously linked with Arsenal in the transfer window but has now attracted interest from Manchester United after the Gunners signed Victor Diokeres, previously managed by Ruben Amorim.
Since joining from Red Bull Salzburg two years ago, Seshko has scored 39 goals in 87 appearances for RB Leipzig. But what qualities can he bring to Old Trafford?
And with a release clause of between £68m and £86m, could he really be the next Erling Haaland?

Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg reported that a “secret meeting” had taken place between Arsenal and RB Leipzig representatives regarding Cesco.
Speed and stateliness in the style of Haaland
His goalscoring numbers may seem modest compared to other players, but Cesko is a rare striker with a similar physicality to Haaland. At 190cm, he is equally tall and fast.
His physique allows him to act as a target man, holding up the ball, drawing teammates in and creating opportunities for long balls, crosses and set pieces.
Like Haaland, he combines these qualities with explosive speed.
