ALBION's Dan Burn is reportedly subject to a £10 million bid from Newcastle United.

Earlier today the defender was linked with a move to his boyhood club but now the same source have suggested that the clubs are in "advanced talks" over a transfer.

The defender has been in good form for Albion and has been vital in their push for the top half of the Premier League table during the absences of captain Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster.

Sports journalist Pete O'Rouke broke the news of the interest and has now given the update that the clubs are in discussions.

He tweeted: "Understand Newcastle United are now in advanced talks to sign Brighton defender Dan Burn for £10million."

If Burn was to leave the club for that amount of money it would be a significant profit for Albion who paid a reported £4 million for him in 2018.
