Sean Steur has been quizzed on the amount of time he is getting on the pitch under Matthias Jaissle at Newcastle United.

The 18-year-old currently away with the Netherlands Under 21 squad.

They play their Denmark counterparts home and away in the next week.

Away from home on Friday (13 November) and back in the Netherlands on Tuesday (17 November).

Sean Steur arrived at St James’ Park in a reported £23m deal from Ajax in July.

Away with his national Under 21 squad, Sean Steur speaking to VoetbalPrimeur, the teenager asked whether already playing in the Premier League with a major club such as Newcastle United earns him extra respect with his Netherlands Under 21 team mates: “I never look at the club that way. I’m just happy to be here. I can laugh and get along with everyone, no matter where you play or anything like that. Here we are one team, all together. There’s a good team spirit.”

Sean Steur asked whether it was a concern for him that he isn’t playing more minutes for Newcastle United: “No, I think that in the last period [before the internationals in September] I played a lot [for Newcastle United] and then I played a little less [in the period between these two international breaks]. In the last match [against Fulham] I did play in the starting line up again.”

That game at Craven Cottage was Sean Steur’s first Premier League start since the win over Hull City before the September international break, but the 18-year-old insists: “I wasn’t necessarily too worried. I don’t think too much about it…Sometimes you play a little less, it is just part of the process at your club. It is just then your job to make sure you come in as quickly as possible and with those minutes and chances that you do get, you do as well as possible.”

So far at Newcastle United, Sean Steur has made four starts and seven sub appearances in all competitions.

The teenage midfielder starting three Premier League matches and coming off the bench five times in the league. As well as three appearances in cup matches.

Sean Steur so far playing 330 minutes in the Premier League, 75 minutes in the Carabao Cup for Newcastle United.

Sean Steur: “I have no doubts. I feel very much in my place there [at Newcastle United]. I’m just calm…calm in the sense of just trust in yourself and your opportunity will come anyway. Just don’t panic…I don’t overthink it. Of course I want to play, every player wants to play every minute, but there is no reason to panic if that doesn’t happen.”
