DONE DEAL: Swansea coach Martin delighted with signing of Man City starlet Burns

Manchester City centre-back Finley Burns has joined Swansea City on loan until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old made his one and only senior appearance in the Carabao Cup last September.

Standing at 6ft 5in, the England U18 international has come through the ranks at City after joining from Southend when aged 13.

"Finley Burns is a really, really excellent prospect," said Swansea boss Russell Martin.

"I think it works well for us, works well for Manchester City and works well for the players. Hopefully we'll all benefit from it."
