Manchester and Arsenal’s New Stars and Their Salaries…
Benjamin Sesko has decided to wear the Red Devils’ jersey for a bit less moolah than Arsenal’s Viktor Gyokeres. Despite Newcastle’s attempt to woo him with a fatter paycheck, Sesko chose the glitz of Manchester United, like a squirrel opting for a shiny acorn over a bigger nut. Signed for a cool £66.4 million plus pocket change, Sesko shakes down to about £160,000 per week. That’s chump change compared to Casemiro’s eye-watering £350,000 per week plus possibly a free spaceship ride. Meanwhile, the cash bag at Arsenal didn’t shy away from Gyokeres, giving him a nice £200,000 per week, proving that sometimes you can have both the money and the hat trick.
Sesko believes that his move to Manchester United will not just fill his closet with more red jerseys but also his heart with dreams of Champions League glory. After all, if United makes it back to the Champions League, Sesko’s pay will match Gyokeres’ £200,000 per week, like Cinderella trading glass slippers for designer boots. The club is banking on Sesko to outscore two fridges trying to keep warm at a barbecue. Gyokeres plans to be Arsenal’s goal-making machine after they dropped from scoring 102 goals to 80. With both playing superheroes for their teams, it’s a face-off of goals, assists, and wads of cash bigger than any buffet line during the holidays.
