DONE DEAL: Man City defender Burns happy making Swansea move

Finley Burns is looking forward to "learning and progressing" at Swansea City.

The promising Manchester City defender, 18, sealed a loan move to Swansea on Sunday.

Burns will spend the remainder of the season at Liberty Stadium and is excited about the challenge.

"I'm delighted to be here, I'm looking forward to it and I feel like I'm in great company," he said.

"I was on the train down to London actually to see my grandparents and then I got a phone call from my dad saying "Well done son, you're moving to the Swans!" and I was delighted.

"I got down here as soon as I could, I had to go straight back to Manchester and drive back down to Swansea. I'm buzzing.

"I've had a chance to speak to the manager and his staff and they're all great. They're delighted to have me here and I feel looked after already so I'm just looking forward to learning under him and progressing."
