Both clubs urgently need attacking reinforcements, but Newcastle appear more focused, especially as Alexander Isak’s future remains increasingly uncertain at St. James’ Park.

Šeško is seen as a potential direct replacement for Isak, who is attracting strong interest from top European clubs this summer.

Manchester United have held talks with Šeško and reportedly impressed him, but they remain unsure whether to make him their top priority.

According to The Athletic, United are still deciding between Šeško and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, who offers proven Premier League experience.

This hesitation gives Newcastle a real opportunity to act quickly and decisively in their pursuit of the Slovenian goal machine.

Newcastle have identified Šeško as their number one target, ahead of other names like Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson.

As United weigh their options, Newcastle must move aggressively to convince Šeško of his importance to Eddie Howe’s project, reports Geordie Boots.

A successful move would be a statement, proving Newcastle’s ambition and ability to compete with Premier League heavyweights in the transfer market.

If they act now, Newcastle can secure a long-term striker and land a psychological blow to Manchester United.
