Everyone can agree that Benjamin Šeško is currently in exceptional form, and in recent weeks, he’s been among the hottest players in the German Bundesliga. This is also evident in the statistics, as the Slovenian forward found the net in all four matches he played in April, significantly contributing to his RB Leipzig team’s perfect score.

The 20-year-old, who will turn 21 at the end of the month, needed only seven attempts to score all four goals, making him one of the most effective players in April, alongside Florian Wirtz and Robin Hack. Despite his remarkable height, his other abilities should not be overlooked, as Šeško recorded the fourth-highest sprint speed (35.5 km/h) in one of the games last month.
All of this has not escaped the attention of those in charge of the elite German football competition, as they have included the Slovenian representative in the selection for Rookie of the Month for April. Eligible players for this award must have been under 23 years old on the first day of the season and this must be their first season in the Bundesliga. Additionally, all monthly winners are also nominated for the Rookie of the Season award.
Alongside Šeško, his teammate Xavi Simons also received a nomination. Simons has been nominated in all selections this season, winning the award only in December. However, this time he convinced the jury with two assists and full playing time. If the award doesn’t go to Leipzig, Mainz will be celebrating, as their 19-year-old winger, Brajan Gruda, is also among the nominees. Gruda scored twice in April and has previously been nominated in October last year.
