Burn became Newcastle's No 1 defensive target after they failed to sign Sven Botman, Diego Carlos & Benoit Badiashile; Brighton rejected two bids before agreeing to a fee of £13m; he is their fifth signing this month after Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes and Matt Targett
Newcastle have completed the signing of centre-back Dan Burn from Brighton for £13m to take their spending above £90m this month.
Burn has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at his hometown club Newcastle, where he was a season-ticket holder as a boy.
Burn told the club's official website: "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.
"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."
The Magpies saw two bids turned down before settling on a fee of £13m with Brighton.
Burn, who was in the final 18 months of his Brighton contract, is understood to have undergone a medical over the weekend.
He is Newcastle's fifth signing of the January transfer window, following the arrivals of Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes and Matt Targett.
