Ajax’s Rising Star: Sean Steur

omidbasir- Ajax is witnessing a revival, particularly due to the promising performances of its youth players such as Rayane Bounida and Sean Steur.

Following the injury of Kenneth Taylor, interim coach Fred Grim decided to give the 17-year-old Steur a chance in the first team, which he seized with enthusiasm. Given his young age, Steur could represent the future of Ajax. However, speculation about his potential sale raises concerns among fans.

In a recent profile by Algemeen Dagblad, it was noted that little changes in Volendam, where Steur hails from. A family acquaintance revealed that the television in the Steur household is often tuned to green, as Sean is keen on watching Kevin De Bruyne. When not focusing on his own games, he turns to FC Barcelona to catch the mesmerizing plays of Pedri. His family often accommodates his passion, adjusting their viewing preferences to fit around Sean’s football interests. On the morning of a crucial match, he can be found practicing with a small ball, honing his skills—his greatest asset, honed through countless extra training sessions.
