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. "It was always my dream to play in the best league in the world, so this is really exciting," Steur told club media.
Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey believes the addition of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen could be a "very good signing" for Eddie Howe's side, adding he is glad the deal has been completed quickly. The Magpies have brought Jaouen to St James' Park for around £18.5m, even though the 20-year-old goalkeeper has never experienced top-flight football before. Everybody's got their views on [Aaron] Ramsdale and Nick Pope, but you listen to the stuff I've read about this goalkeeper, he's quite well thought of for a young goalkeeper.
Newcastle have secured the services of Ewen Jaouen, and goalkeeping analyst Matt Pyzdrowski at The Athletic has broken down what Magpies fans can expect from the young keeper. "He's Nick Pope, but he's good with his feet," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.
