He may not have been Newcastle United’s first choice centre back signing in the January transfer window, but Dan Burn has done all his talking on the pitch since joining the club.
After failed attempts to sign multiple targets last month, the Magpies plucked Burn from Brighton & Hove Albion for £13 million as they looked to strengthen the leakiest defence in the Premier League.
And since making his debut in the 1-0 victory over Aston Villa at St. James’ Park on February 13, Burn has helped the club keep two clean sheets and played every minute since.
