Sean Steur completes dream Newcastle move from Ajax

The Netherlands Under-19 international joins the Premier League club after spending more than a decade in Ajax's academy, where he developed after arriving at the Amsterdam club as a seven-year-old.

Ajax confirmed that the transfer could eventually be worth around 27 million euros, depending on agreed conditions.

Steur said he was delighted to complete the move and fulfil his ambition of playing in the Premier League.

"It's an incredible feeling to be here. It's a giant club in the Premier League and it was always my dream to play in the best league in the world, so this is really exciting," he said.

The midfielder also described the style of football he hopes to bring to Eddie Howe's side.

"I am a player who likes to get on the ball and play forward all the time. I am happy playing between the lines and I feel I have a lot of energy in my game. I just want to win."

Steur will wear the number 14 shirt at St James' Park and becomes Newcastle's third senior signing of the summer transfer window. He follows the arrivals of French goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen and Ivory Coast winger Bazoumana Toure as the Magpies continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Newcastle will begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign at St. James' Park against Liverpool on August 23.
