Now Sky Sports have revealed that the teenager will fly into Newcastle later today.

The Dutch media broke the news of the move initially, reporting that a €27m (£23m) deal had been agreed between Newcastle United and Ajax for the exciting teenage talent. De Telegraaf reporting that the agreement is for €24m (£20.5m) to be paid as the initial transfer fee and then “easily achievable” future bonus payments of another €3m (£2.5m). The Dutch newspaper also revealing that if Newcastle United sell Sean Steur in the future, Ajax will be entitled to 12.5 percent of any profit in that transfer.
Keith Downie covers Newcastle United for Sky Sports and he has said that Newcastle United Sporting Director Ross Wilson agreed the fine details of the deal early this morning. He will become the third summer signing for Newcastle United, as he follows 20-year-olds Ewen Jaouen and Bazoumana Toure through the door.
Keith Downie reporting: “The club feel this shows, on the back of Bazou Toure, that it’s important to show that deals can happen both quietly and swiftly.”

The now 18-year-old has played at every youth age group for the Netherlands up to and including the Under 19s.
