Burn, 31, revealed to the youngsters: "For the Tottenham game you’re all going to be mascots.

"So you get to walk out with us in front of the crowd."

Sela have revealed the youngsters will wear innovative shirts with haptic technology when they become mascots - meaning the shirts respond to movement generated electronically or mechanically.

The shirts have been designed to enhance the matchday experience in a unique way, with fans wearing them promised a share of the St James' Park vibe via "real-time touch sensation".

It comes as part of a collaboration with RNID, the national charity supporting 12 million people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Newcastle vice-captain Trippier, 33, added: "To walk out in the [RNID] shirts is special, and we had a good kickabout with the kids as well."

Burn also teased a new celebration that may be shown off: "The kids were teaching us a goal celebration so watch out for it.

"I’ll probably get a few more before the end of the season."
