Benjamin Sesko's preferred club ‘revealed' as Newcastle prepare new £70m-plus transfer offer in bid to beat Man Utd
NEWCASTLE are set to fail in their club-record £70million bid for Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko - but will return with an improved offer. Toon are offering £65.5m up front plus £4.3m in add-ons but the German club are expected to turn down the offer. 3 Leipzig are hoping for a bidding war between Manchester United and Newcastle, who are set to lose Alexander Isak to Liverpool. Even if both clubs offer the same amount, Leipzig will look to increase the size of add-ons and the sell-on percentage. Sesko, 22, is certain to leave Leipzig and he was left out of the club's 2-1 friendly against Atalanta on Saturday. The forward is understood to be happy to join EITHER club. Leipzig sporting director Marcel Shafer said: 'Due to the very concrete interest from several clubs, we have decided that he will not play today. 'When I say that strong interest has been registered and approaches have been made, it's obvious what has happened. 'I would like to make it clear that this does not mean that he is on his way to another club. "And it also does not mean that Benji will not be playing next week.' 3 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Yet Sesko is still unlikely to play again for the club particularly as Leipzig are also keen to sell the player. Leipzig are also set to sell Dutch forward Xavi Simons to Chelsea. Simons missed the Atalanta game with a neck issue although he could cost Chelsea up to £60m. 3

Gary Neville is taunted by Crewe on social media, as club take cheeky swipe after beating his Salford City side in season opener
Crewe Alexandra poked fun at Salford co-owner Gary Neville on social media after their 3-1 victory in their League Two opener on Saturday. It was a disappointing start to the season for Salford with Crewe walking away from their home ground with all three points. Sky Sports pundit Neville was in attendance, watching on from the director's box. The former Man United man was pictured observing from behind the window with his hand pressed against the glass. And Crewe couldn;t resist the chance to taunt Neville, who had five fingers placed on the window. They posted the snap on X with the caption: 'nah it was three Gary', referring to the Railwaymen's 3-1 win. Neville and David Beckham completed a takeover of Salford in May as part of a new consortium, buying out the rest of the Class of '92. The former Manchester United stars had held a 60 per cent share in the League Two club along with Paul Scholes, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs. However, that quartet handed over their shares while Beckham and Neville have brought in new partners and investment of between £11-15million as they target Championship football within five years. Conor Thomas' brace late in the first half helped Crewe to their 3-1 win at Salford. Thomas put the Alex on track for victory after Kadeem Harris had scored at both ends of the field. Salford were awarded a penalty four minutes in after a foul on Adebola Oluwo by Mickey Demetriou. Ben Woodburn's spot-kick was struck with power but Tom Booth made a brilliant full-length save. Crewe led following a goalmouth scramble after eight minutes, with the ball adjudged to have crossed the line after ricocheting off Salford winger Harris. In an eventful debut for the Ammies, Harris restored parity, finding the bottom corner of Booth's goal after being set up by Kallum Cesay. Thomas put Crewe ahead after 41 minutes, finishing from close range following a Josh March cross. With seconds to go before half-time Thomas netted again, tapping in after Salford goalkeeper Matty Young failed to deal with Tommi O'Reilly's shot. Crewe came closest to scoring after the break with an O'Reilly shot that crashed off the crossbar.

McInnes can't wait to get league campaign started
Hearts head coach Derek McInnes is looking forward to starting the Premiership season with a "tough" game against Aberdeen on Monday night. The new boss is targeting all three points from his first league game but knows it won't be an easy test against a Dons side "buoyed" by their Scottish Cup success. "We've been given a nice home game," the manager said. "There are lots of ingredients in it, but obviously it's a tough game. Aberdeen are a tough opponent and they're a good side. They'll be buoyant after their Scottish Cup success last season as well."They've got a lot of good players. It's not without its challenges, but we've got to make sure it's every bit as tough for them coming to Tynecastle."I think we're all looking forward to it."But the manager knows all their hard pre-season work will be forgotten if they don't get the job done on Monday night. "We've been pretty busy in the sense of trying to get the players ready for this moment," he added. "We had to get that process accelerated to get players ready for the League Cup. The benefit of that is you play competitive football."We finished the pre-season work off with a good performance last weekend against Sunderland."But all that gets quickly forgotten about unless you go and get that first win as quickly as possible. We're all under the same pressures as managers."With all the optimism, it doesn't matter how many signings you've made, you just want to try and get that first three points as quickly as possible."
