The Magpies have already seen a bid worth β¬80m (Β£70m) rejected by RB Leipzig β and all eyes are now on the man born in Radece as he prepares to make a decision.
Newcastle arrived back in England on Monday morning after touring Asia, spending time in Singapore and South Korea as part of their pre-season preparation.

Regardless of what happens with Sesko, the Magpies are also hoping to welcome a different attacker at St Jamesβ Park in the coming days.

The Brentford No.11 is currently refusing to train with the Bees as he aims to secure a move away.
Sources add that Brentford want Β£50m for Wissa β having already lost Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United in a Β£71m deal.
