DONE DEAL: Burn ecstatic after swapping Brighton for boyhood club Newcastle

Newcastle United have completed the signing of Dan Burn from Brighton.

Toon spent £13m to sign boyhood Newcastle supporter Burn, 29, on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Burn said: "I'm buzzing to be here. I never thought I'd be in this position so to be a Newcastle player and to be around St. James' Park, it's something I've dreamt of since I was a kid.

"I can't wait to step out in the shirt and to see what it feels like.

"From sitting in the East Stand as a kid to now, it's crazy. I'm excited to get started."
