Newcastle boss Eddie Howe delighted with ‘brilliant transfer’ Dan Burn

PA Wire

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has hailed the “brilliant” piece of transfer business which brought Dan Burn back to his boyhood club.

The Blyth-born defender was released by the Magpies as an 11-year-old, but has worked his way back to Tyneside via Darlington, Fulham, Wigan and Brighton, who reluctantly sold him for £13million in January.
