Newcastle Close In on Steur

Newcastle United, Ajax and Sean Steur
Tuesday

Newcastle United are closing in on a deal for 18-year-old Ajax midfielder Sean Steur as they reinvest after Sandro Tonali’s £100m move to Tottenham. The Ajax academy graduate has a contract running until 2028 now.

Ajax face pressure because Steur’s value could drop if he enters the final year of his deal next summer. Opta data marks him as one of the Eredivisie’s strongest teenage midfielders for chances created, carries and duels.
