The agent of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has spoken to Fabrizio Romano about his future in an interview for Give Me Sport.

He added: “Even if there may be – or will be – a strong desire of the player to move to a certain club, we will never force or blackmail RB Leipzig.
“I believe this is not the right way,…
