Newcastle still pursuing deal for Murphy

Newcastle and Norwich are to resume negotiations over a potential deal for Jacob Murphy to move to St James’ Park.

Norwich recently rejected an offer from Newcastle for the 22-year-old but the Magpies remain keen to sign him. 

Winger Murphy, from Wembley, has been linked with a number of clubs in recent months.

Southampton are reported to be monitoring developments and he was previously touted for a possible move to Everton.

He has been with Norwich since the East Anglian club snapped him up along with his twin brother Josh in 2006.
