A look at Benjamin Sesko’s career so far
Benjamin Sesko is a forward for both the Slovenian national team and RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. When he was in first grade, he started playing with his hometown club, Radece.
After that, he played for the under-11 team for a year under Rudar Trbovlje before going back to Radece.
In 2019, Sesko (16) relocated from Domzale to Red Bull Salzburg. In the second tier of Austrian football, he scored 22 goals in 44 appearances while spending two seasons on loan at Salzburg’s reserve team, FC Liefering.
He won three Austrian Bundesliga titles and one Austrian Cup since making his Red Bull Salzburg first-team debut in January 2021.
Prior to making his senior national team debut in June 2021 at the age of 18 years and 1 day, Sesko represented Slovenia at the youth international level for the under-15, under-19, and senior teams.
When he scored his first goal for the national team in October 2021, he became the youngest goal scorer in Slovenian history.
Benjamin Sesko’s style of play
Sesko has excellent skill, an eye for the spectacular, and is a two-footed menace in the air. His style is often described as Erling Haaland’s playing style.
Sesko collects possession deep and with his back to goal while there is a defensive player right at his back and his frame and balance allow him to move past defenders with ease.
“I am my own player. The only thing that makes us kind of comparable is the height,” noted Sesko when asked by Transfermarkt about the comparison. “But we have a very different style of play. I like him as a player, but I don’t like to compare myself to anyone; I just want to be myself.”
