Crystal Palace and Leicester City are reportedly keeping tabs on the Norwich City ace.
According to a report from the Mirror, Leicester and Crystal Palace are keeping tabs on Norwich City winger Josh Murphy, and the Canaries could be forced to sell due to financial concerns.
The 23-year-old has been in fine form for the East Anglia outfit this season, scoring 10 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions thus far.
The Mirror claim that the Foxes and the Eagles are closely monitoring his situation at Carrow Road, amidst reports that Norwich could be forced to sell the speedy winger.
Murphy possesses pace in abundance, and his direct playing style would certainly help add some potency to Leicester or Palace’s play in the final third.
The Englishman began his career as a trainee at Carrow Road, and has impressed since making his senior debut for the club way back in 2013.
Palace are arguably more in need of a winger than Leicester, with Wilfried Zaha’s future at Selhurst Park uncertain to say the least.
Murphy is under contract with Norwich until the summer of 2021, so the Canaries will most probably demand a fairly substantial fee for his services.
The 23-year-old’s twin brother Jacob was sold to Newcastle last summer for £12 million, and with that in mind, Josh would surely be worth the same.
