BERLIN (Reuters) - New RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko is not comfortable being compared with Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland and while they have some things in common he says he has his own style.

Both had spells with Red Bull Salzburg before moving on to bigger clubs in the German Bundesliga and Sesko's aggressive attacking style has often earned him comparisons to the Norwegian, especially when the former played in Salzburg's youth teams and Haaland for the senior team in 2019-2020.
