League One side Wigan Athletic enjoyed a profitable transfer deadline day.

They not only brought two players into the club but also scooped a much welcomed seven-figure boost to the coffers.

That is thanks to Dan Burn's deadline day transfer from Brighton and Hove Albion to Newcastle United.

Burn, 29, swapped the Seagulls for the Magpies in a switch worth £13million. And thanks to a sell-on clause inserted into his previous contract with Athletic, the Latics are looking at a cash injection to the tune of roughly £1.5m.

The clause was negotiated by Wigan's then-CEO Jonathan Jackson, in the deal that saw the boyhood Newcastle fan move to Brighton for up to £4m in the summer of 2018.

Reports suggest Wigan are in line for a share of between 15 and 20 per cent of any profit made by Albion. That would equate to a fee of between £1.35m and £1.8m.

Burn spent two seasons with Athletic, after joining them on a free after leaving Fulham. He helped the club to the League One title in 2018.

He was then signed by Brighton but loaned back out to his former club for the first part of the campaign.

He has since become an established figure with Albion and his move to Tyneside is a return to his hometown club.

Burn not only grew up supporting the Magpies but was part of the youth set-up before being released aged 11.

He has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at St James
