LEIPZIG, Germany — Benjamin Sesko is showing in the Champions League why clubs like Arsenal, AC Milan, Chelsea and Manchester United have been pursuing him as a transfer target. The 6-foot-5 (1.95-meter) Leipzig forward raised his tally to three goals in two games of the revamped competition with an impressive strike in the first half against Juventus and then a penalty kick in the second half. Juventus went on to win 3-2 courtesy of a brace from Dusan Vlahovic and a late winner from substitute Francisco Conceicao. The 21-year-old Sesko had been linked to a possible transfer after last season but the pursuit ended on the eve of the European Championship when he extended his contract with Leipzig.
