Dan Burn on Alexander Isak transfer:
“I’ve been in football long enough to understand that for a player, the careers are short and they’ve got things that they want to achieve. So for me, happy that it’s over."
“Alex is a mate, so it was tough situation because you wanted him to be around and helping the team, but also understand for him, what he needs to do personally. So I’ve got nothing but good wishes for Alex.”
“No animosity, I think as a Newcastle fan, and you know what Newcastle fans are like, we’re very protective of our club, and our city.”
“You want players to be there who want to play for Newcastle, and naively you don’t want them to think that there’s anywhere else to go, apart from playing at Newcastle.”
“So I understand why our fans are frustrated. But as I said, I think I’ve been in the game long enough now to understand what goes on.”
“I wish Alex all the best, apart from when we play Liverpool.”
