Sean Steur Transfer from Ajax to Arsenal
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United have been monitoring Sean Steur in recent weeks, with scouts from the clubs having attended multiple Ajax games. It is reported that the three English clubs are seeking a new holding midfielder this summer and are evaluating if the 18-year-old Dutch player is prepared for the Premier League. Arsenal have been exploring young players, including Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi, and Steur’s progress has established him as a prominent candidate. BlueCo and City Group, the parent companies of Chelsea and Manchester City, have also been tracking the Ajax midfielder and have been doing so for longer than most. Tottenham and Newcastle have also monitored him. Eintracht Frankfurt previously held talks in January for a transfer but concluded that his increasing reputation might place him outside of what they could afford. Ajax want to retain Steur for the long term, and the club is in a favorable negotiating position because his contract runs until 2028. Within the Amsterdam club, there is a belief that he could be their most promising midfield prospect since Frenkie De Jong. This season, Steur has made 10 appearances in the Eredivisie and 11 in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, contributing one goal and one assist in the latter. The midfielder has also earned 6 caps and scored 2 goals for the Netherlands U18 team. His current market value is €700k, according to Transfermarkt.
