Gary Neville has praised Slovenia striker Benjamin Sesko after he snubbed interest from the Premier League to extend his RB Leipzig contract.
Sesko extended his Leipzig contract earlier this week, opting against a move to England having been linked with , Manchester United and Chelsea.
I had a good first year at RB Leipzig and am incredibly happy to be here, Sesko said after signing a new deal.

England manager Gareth Southgate says winning Euro 2024 this Sunday is the “ultimate challenge”, not wondering if Sunday’s last-16 clash with Slovakia could be his final match.
Boos, and even some plastic cups, were aimed the long-serving manager’s way after Tuesday’s miserable 0-0 draw with Slovenia, which saw them win Group C but left fans and pundits unhappy.
Southgate knows the team have to find their “next level” as the knockout phase gets under way against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen, where they recorded their only win of these Euros a fortnight ago against Serbia.
“Absolutely (enjoying the challenge), it’s a brilliant challenge,” Southgate said.

Manchester United target Noussair Mazraoui reportedly wants to move to the club after rejecting West Ham, and the exit of Aaron Wan-Bissaka could be crucial for that transfer.

It has also been suggested he s keen on West Ham s Mohammed Kudus, while interest in Matthijs de Ligt has been well reported, and a move for Mazraoui could now be on the cards.
The former Ajax right-back rejected West Ham where he himself could have linked up with Kudus and Fabrizio Romano states he is eager for United instead.
