Graham Potter said: “We were not actively looking to sell Dan during this window but the transfer represents a very good transfer for our club and the player. Newcastle are Dan’s boyhood club, and this move allows him to potentially play out the rest of his career at his home club. Ever since I have been at the club, Dan has been brilliant for me.
