Newcastle United have completed the £23 million transfer of 18-year-old Ajax midfielder Sean Steur. The player agreed to a five-year contract with the Premier League club. The deal was announced after a key departure, as reported. Transfermarkt describes Steur as an “Ajax wonderkid”.
A club representative told reporters that the club’s interest made turning down the move difficult to resist.
The BBC and The New York Times have independently confirmed the transfer’s completion. Steur joins a Newcastle side looking to rebuild following Tonali’s departure. The fee and deal duration were disclosed by the club.
