Steur, an 18-year-old versatile midfielder, can play in defensive midfield or further forward. He has been praised for his two-footedness and passing ability. Newcastle have brought him in to strengthen their midfield area, which has seen several departures this summer.
BBC Sport's Steve Bower believes Steur has the personality to play in the Premier League. He thinks the young midfielder can grab opportunities if they come his way. Steur will join a Newcastle team in transition, with a new manager at the helm. Bower is optimistic about his chances of breaking into the team, citing players like Lewis Miley who have come through in recent seasons.
Steur's signing is one of several moves made by Newcastle this summer. The club is looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.
