'An incredible feeling' - Magpies sign 'top young prospect' Steur

[Getty Images] New Newcastle signing Sean Steur says it is an "incredible feeling" to sign for a "giant club" after his £23m move from Ajax was confirmed. Midfielder Steur, 18, has become the third player aged 20 and under the Magpies have bought in so far this summer after Bazoumana Toure and Ewen Jaouen. He has signed a five-year contract until 2031. "It was always my dream to play in the best league in the world, so this is really exciting," Steur told club media. "I was at home at Ajax – I joined when I was seven and I leave with only good memories - but when a club like Newcastle comes for you, it's really hard to say no. The last few days have gone fast and I'm very happy to join." Steur established himself as a regular at Ajax in the second half of last season, starting in the De Klassieker win over Feyenoord at the age of just 17. Magpies boss Eddie Howe described Steur as a "top young prospect", adding: "We see real potential in Sean and believe he has the characteristics to become a valuable player for us for years to come. "Sean is an exciting addition to our squad. He's had an excellent upbringing at Ajax, who have an outstanding track record of producing young players."
