AI summary
Former Newcastle manager Ruud Gullit has backed 18-year-old Sean Steur to succeed at St James' Park despite criticism from Dutch observers who questioned his early departure from Ajax. Gullit told ComeOn he has been impressed by Newcastle's campaign so far, though he acknowledged the 4-1 defeat to Leeds United last weekend showed the Magpies still have work to do. Steur has already featured in all six matches this season and was a standout performer in pre-season, suggesting he may yet vindicate his summer move.
