@lamecknsubuga While Miley can cover at RB he is absolutely not considered a RB by the club.

[Alfred Frank @alfredfrank_]

Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United want Kees Smit (2006), but whoever doesn't get him should just wait a season or two and sign Sean Steur (2008) from Ajax. 🇳🇱

Similar build, similar profile. Not as good in tight spaces, but better passing range and great at carrying the ball forward.

Getting his first minutes in the Eredivisie this season, also assisted in the CL against Qarabağ. Hype coming very soon!

Midfield Maestro Re-gen 🇳🇱🔜

Reminds me of a young Frankie De Jong or Adam Wharton capable of dictating the play.

#NUFC are betting on his raw potential with a move for a top young talent.

He’ll need time to develop his game and physically for the PL.

“Weak” foot rocket 🇳🇱 🚀

[The Toon Scout @TheToonScout]

Steur has the classic Ajax total football skillset.

Young with huge potential but will need time to adapt to the PL.

💪 Strong ball retention
⚽️ Excellent distribution
🚀 Long ball specialist

@MagpieMediaX Get me back in the Gallowgate with this Baller ripping it up 🏴🏳️🏴🏳️

6 - Despite only coming on in the 75th minute, Dan Burn made the joint most clearances in England's 3-2 win over Mexico (6).

It's the most clearances made by a player subbed on that late into a World Cup game on record since 1966.

Butter.

@NUFCBlogcouk 7/10 On his day unplayable but his heart was always back home in Italy and the betting ban really deserved greater loyalty.
