Ajax said Steur will join Newcastle<\/a> for a transfer fee that could reach 27 million euros ($31 million).<\/p>\n

Newcastle is getting younger after high-profile sales of Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali<\/a> this offseason by the Saudi Arabia-owned club<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Manzambi has impressed for World Cup quarterfinalist Switzerland, until suffering a knee injury in training, after a strong season for Europa League finalist Freiburg<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Another 20-year-old from the Bundesliga, winger Bazoumana Tour\u00e9, joined Newcastle this week from Hoffenheim for a reported 42 million pounds ($56 million).<\/p>

Newcastle has sold England winger Gordon to Barcelona<\/a> and Italy playmaker Tonali to Tottenham for a combined total of more than $200 million.<\/p>\n

A third established team leader could leave with Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimar\u00e3es reportedly seeking to push through a move to Premier League champion Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Newcastle played in the Champions League last season but a 12th-place finish in the Premier League means no European soccer next season. That will cut club revenue by tens of millions of euros (dollars).<\/p>
