Newcastle United agree £20m deal to sign Ajax midfielder Seun Steur
Newcastle United have agreed a £20m deal to sign Ajax prospect Seun Steur to bolster Eddie Howe’s midfield options.
The impending transfer represents another major move for the Tyneside club during a remarkably busy summer window.
The Dutch sensation has frequently been highlighted by scouts and European football experts as a generational talent.
He is unbelievably special.
Midfield rebuild continues after high-profile exits
Steur’s arrival comes in the wake of several significant financial departures from St James’ Park this month.
The Magpies recently sanctioned the staggering £100m sale of Italian international Sandro Tonali to Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
That blockbuster exit swiftly followed the £70m departure of winger Anthony Gordon to Spanish giants Barcelona.
Those lucrative outbound transfers have provided Howe with the vital capital required to completely reshape his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Further Tyneside arrivals expected
Steur is not the only fresh face joining the Newcastle ranks following this sudden influx of transfer funds.
The English club have already completed a deal to bring exciting attacker Bazoumana Toure to the North East.
Executives are also actively pursuing a move for World Cup standout Johan Manzambi to further reinforce the centre of the pitch alongside their newest Dutch recruit.
