Newcastle Transfers 2026/27: Touré, Steur and Jaouen Arrive as Tonali & Gordon Exit — FPL Guide
Newcastle banked over £160m selling Tonali and Gordon — and reinvested in three young talents. Every confirmed Magpies signing analysed for FPL managers.
---
It has been a summer of staggering churn on Tyneside. Sandro Tonali (£92.5m to Tottenham) and Anthony Gordon (£69m to Barcelona) have departed for a combined £160m+, while Kieran Trippier left on a free. In their place: three of Europe's brightest young talents in Bazoumana Touré, Sean Steur and Ewen Jaouen — a recruitment drive with a clear "buy high-upside, sell at peak" logic.
Newcastle finished 12th last season and host Liverpool in GW1's marquee Sunday clash.
Confirmed Newcastle signings — summer 2026
| Player | Position | From | Fee | FPL relevance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bazoumana Touré | LW | Hoffenheim | £40.25m | High |
| Sean Steur | CM | Ajax | £20.5m | Medium |
| Ewen Jaouen | GK | Reims | £18m | Medium |
Key departures: Sandro Tonali (£92.5m, Tottenham), Anthony Gordon (£69m, Barcelona), Kieran Trippier (free, Wolves).
The headline signings, analysed
Bazoumana Touré — Gordon's heir on the left wing
The 20-year-old Ivorian arrives as Hoffenheim's record sale (surpassing Joelinton's 2019 move — also to Newcastle), and his final Bundesliga season explains the fee:
- 5 goals and 9 assists in 29 Bundesliga starts (15 goal involvements in 45 games across all competitions)
- An explosive, right-footed inverted left winger likened to Karim Adeyemi
- Scored a 90th-minute AFCON winner against Gabon and represented Ivory Coast at the World Cup
- Signed from Hammarby for €10m just 18 months ago — a meteoric rise
Touré walks straight into the minutes Gordon vacated on the left of Newcastle's attack. He's the Magpies' most FPL-relevant arrival — a mid-priced midfielder/forward with goal involvement pedigree in a top-five league.
Sean Steur — the Tonali succession plan
The young Dutch midfielder arrives from Ajax for £20.5m as Newcastle rebuild their engine room post-Tonali. Steur is a technically secure, press-resistant midfielder in the Ajax mould — more controller than goal threat. One for the watchlist until his role (and set-piece proximity) becomes clear.
Ewen Jaouen — £18m of goalkeeping insurance
The French youth international joins from Reims as long-term competition between the posts. With Newcastle's defensive record last season (55 conceded) and a brutal opening run (Liverpool first), he's not a GW1 consideration — but keep him on the radar if the No.1 shirt ever opens up.
What it means for FPL managers
- Touré is the buy. Direct replacement minutes for a 9-assist winger in an Eddie Howe attack — that's a profile worth gambling on.
- Liverpool (H) in GW1 is a defence to fade. Newcastle assets on the attacking side are playable; their clean-sheet odds are not.
- The Tonali void matters. Newcastle's build-up will change; expect a short adjustment period for their premium assets.
- Steur is a stashee, not a starter pick — monitor pre-season line-ups.
FPL verdicts
| Player | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Bazoumana Touré | BUY/WATCH — direct Gordon replacement |
| Sean Steur | WATCH — role TBC |
| Ewen Jaouen | AVOID (for now) |
Bottom line: Newcastle's window is smart, long-term business. For FPL, it's simple: Touré inherits one of the league's best-attacking left-wing roles and is the pick of their arrivals.
