Newcastle has completed the signing of Brighton defender Dan Burn for a fee of £13m. Burn has signed a contract for two and a half years with his boyhood club where he was a season ticket holder as a young boy. He was in the final 18 months of his contract and underwent a medical over the weekend.
“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,” Dan Burn said after completing his transfer to Newcastle. “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.”
“I’m delighted to bring Dan back to the North East. He knows exactly what it means to represent this club and he will be a big presence for us on and off the pitch,” Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said. “We have been very keen to add competition defensively and Dan fits the profile we have been looking for. He is naturally left-footed, which provides further balance to our backline, and he will be a great addition to the group.”
