Dan Burn has been nothing short of a revelation since he joined Newcastle United in January. The Blyth-born defender made the move to Tyneside in a £13million deal from Brighton & Hove Albion on deadline day, becoming their fifth signing of the transfer window.
He made his Magpies debut last month in a 1-0 win over Aston Villa after missing the game against Everton through a minor foot injury. It was a sensational display from Burn, who completed more tackles, clearances and blocks than any other team-mate on the day.
This was backed up with consistent performances at West Ham United and Brentford, where the Magpies conceded just once in the process. His partnership with Fabian Schar has been integral to their up-turn of form, which has saw them move up to 14th, seven points clear of the relegation zone.
