Newcastle United are said to be closing in on signing Norwich City’s Jacob Murphy.
Newcastle United fans appear to be very excited about rumours that they are leading the race to sign Jacob Murphy from Norwich City.
According to the Daily Mirror, Newcastle are on the verge of signing the England youth international.
And Newcastle fans are ready to welcome Murphy with open arms, with the reaction to the potential transfer very positive on social media website Twitter.
Newcastle have been frustrated in their search for transfers so far, with Benitez only able to complete a limited amount of business.
The Magpies have brought in Christian Atsu and Florian Lejeune so far this summer, but there was hope that more new arrivals would have been signed up by now.
Newcastle have now been linked with a host of new players, but few have created the same excitement as the Murphy rumours.
Murphy is regarded as one of the top up-and-coming talents in England, with his performances for Norwich impressing last term.
Murphy made 37 Championship appearances last season, scoring eight times and claiming eight assists.
