Teammate Simons also honored
Benjamin Sesko (20) was instrumental in Red Bull Salzburg’s tenth championship title in a row last season with his 16 goals this season. As a result, the center forward gained the upper hand in the favor of the Transfermarkt community and was voted “Player of the Season” in the Bundesliga. In the polls, in which more than 1.5 million TM users took part worldwide, the newcomer from Leipzig secured first place with 36.45 percent of the votes. His new team-mate Xavi Simons (20) also received a TM award for his performances in 2022/23 for PSV Eindhoven.
Unlike Simons, who came to the Saxons on loan from PSG, Sesko signed a permanent contract with the “Red Bulls” – and that last summer, but only with a start date of 2023. Why the Slovenian in Austria as the successor to ex-Salzburger Erling Haaland was celebrated last season. With 16 goals and four assists, the young centre-forward’s development curve continued to rise steeply – as did his market value, which rose from 10 to 24 million euros last year.
