Benjamin Sesko Thanks RB Leipzig.
Benjamin Sesko Thanks, RB Leipzig. I arrived as a kid, and I leave with beautiful memories of this club forever.
From day one, you welcomed me like family. I’ve grown, learned, and lived unforgettable moments here.
To the fans, your love and support have meant more than words can say.
This club will always hold a special place in my heart.
Forever grateful.
Benjamin Sesko has spent the past two seasons in Germany with Leipzig, having joined them from sister club Salzburg in 2023. He scored 39 goals in 87 games in all competitions, along with eight assists, with 27 of those coming in 64 Bundesliga appearances.
Benjamin Sesko is the top goalscorer currently aged under 23 in Europe’s top five leagues, in all competitions.
He is one ahead of Real Madrid’s Bellingham and five clear of Florian Wirtz, who joined Reds from Bayer Leverkusen for an initial ยฃ100m this summer.
Benjamin Sesko was one of the fastest strikers in the Bundesliga, reaching a top speed of 36.7km/h and, helped by his 6ft 5in stature, had the highest aerial success rate among strikers, winning 57.4% of aerial duels.
Only 6 forwards have scored more goals in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, even though Sesko was 16th for expected goals, 14th on shots and 22nd on touches in the opposition box.
He is a threat from long range too, with 36.8% of his shots – and 23.1% of his goals – coming from outside the box. Both are higher than any Bundesliga striker to score 12 or more goals last season.
Last season he also became more of an all-rounder, with 9.7% of his touches coming in the opposition box – compared with 17% the season before – while he got involved more on both wings and further back into midfield postion.
