Newcastle United agree £23m fee for Ajax wonderkid: report
Newcastle are targeting youth and potential as they move to add an 18-year-old midfielder with 25 senior Ajax appearances.
- Sources indicate Newcastle United are nearing a £23million deal for Ajax midfielder Sean Steur, with the 18-year-old expected on Tyneside for a medical after agreeing to a five-year contract.
- Newcastle moved to replace Sandro Tonali following his £100m transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, as head coach Eddie Howe seeks to bolster the midfield with younger players amid Joe Willock's expected departure.
- Steur has made 25 senior appearances for Ajax, and the agreement includes a 12.5% future sale percentage clause; the midfielder is represented by THE TEAM alongside Howe.
- Steur's move follows a contract dispute involving former technical director Alex Kroes, which stalled his initial agreement until 2028, despite Ajax director Marijn Beuker previously describing him as a dynamic talent.
- Newcastle's transfer strategy has shifted toward investing in young, high-ceiling players rather than established stars, as evidenced by summer signings of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen and winger Bazoumana Toure.
