In recent days, there has been much talk in the Slovenian football scene about Benjamin Šeško, who just before the end of the club season and ahead of the European Championship departure is drawing the interest of many. Amidst all the transfer rumors, a special statistic has now come to light, conducted by the institute CIES.
The mentioned study, which focused solely on forwards, covered two segments: the number of pressures on opponents without physical contact or contact with the ball, and field coverage at speeds above 25 km/h when the player’s team does not have possession of the ball. Among all forwards plying their trade in the top five leagues in the world, the highest ranked is Heung-Min Son, a member of Tottenham Hotspur, while Šeško ranks eighth, meaning he also belongs to the top tier, even in the German league, as only Moritz Broschinski, who plays for VfL Bochum, has a greater contribution, but his attacking input cannot even come close to matching Šeško’s.
All this data is crucial for AC Milan, which in recent days has been seriously considering bringing in the 20-year-old Slovenian representative during the summer, a player currently being pursued by the whole of Europe.
