July 9 : Premier League side Newcastle United have signed 18-year-old Dutch midfielder Sean Steur from Ajax on a five-year deal, the club announced on Thursday.
The Netherlands Under-19 international arrives at St James' Park after progressing through Ajax's youth system, having joined the Dutch club at the age of seven. Ajax said in a statement that the transfer fee could amount to approximately €27 million ($31 million).
"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," Steur said.
“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.”
