Slovenia forward Benjamin Šeško tired of Erling Haaland comparisons after good start in Bundesliga

Associated Press  

BERLIN — Slovenia forward Benjamin Šeško is tired of being compared to Erling Haaland. Both players are 6-foot-4 strikers who took formative steps in their careers at Austrian team Salzburg before moving to German clubs – Šeško to Salzburg’s sister club Leipzig this summer, while Haaland moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2020 before joining Manchester City last year. “I already said that I’m my own player,” the 20-year-old Šeško told journalists in an online call Monday. And also, we’re both fast, but in general we have a different style of playing.” Šeško grabbed his first Bundesliga goals by scoring two in Leipzig’s 3-0 win at Union Berlin on Sept. 3, ending Union’s 24-game unbeaten run at home in the league, and he also he sealed Leipzig’s winning start in the Champions League by scoring the decisive goal against Young Boys. ”And that makes me really happy when I see that kind of player like him.” Šeško reportedly had the chance to join Manchester United among other Premier league clubs but he chose Leipzig instead.
