Newcastle United completed their fifth signing of the January transfer window in the 11th hour with the arrival of Dan Burn from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth around £13million.
The Blyth-born defender was the Magpies' second addition on deadline day, penning a two-and-a-half year deal after Aston Villa's Matt Targett made the switch on loan until the end of the season.
It was clear that Newcastle needed to add another centre-back given the club's dismal record this season, conceding the second-most amount of goals in the Premier League with 43 from 21 matches.
