""We wanted the transfer window to close to have a bit of clarity on it," said Burn. "Alex is a mate so it's a tough situation. You want him around to help the team but also for him he has things to do personally, so I have nothing but good wishes. It was frustrating coming into it, knowing that there was something hanging over us, but I have been in football long enough to understand how it works," Burn added on BBC Radio 5 Live. "Football is a short career and people have got ambitions and things they want to achieve. I am just happy it's over now.""
""I think we have recruited really well. I think if you look at our transfer window in general, we have got good depth in every position now," said Burn. "The club and the board have invested heavily, and it could be a really positive season.""
Alexander Isak left Newcastle to join Liverpool on deadline day for a British-record £125m, ending weeks of dispute between the striker and the club. Isak scored 54 Premier League goals for Newcastle over the last three seasons, behind only Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah since August 2022. Dan Burn expressed no animosity toward Isak, offered good wishes and said he was relieved the uncertainty had ended. Newcastle signed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa to replace Isak and Callum Wilson, and also acquired Jacob Ramsey, Malick Thiaw and Anthony Elanga. After Champions League qualification and an EFL Cup win, Burn believes strong recruitment and greater depth could produce a positive season following heavy board investment.
