Derby County boss Frank Lampard has already suggested loan signings could come to Pride Park.
Frank Lampard has already said that his Derby side are likely to be active in the loan window this month, and Newcastle’s Murphy is said to be a target.
Murphy moved to St. James’ Park for £12 million back in 2017 (Mirror), but his time on Tyneside hasn’t been very productive, and Derby are now keen to swoop in.
The Rams are prepared to offer Murphy a chance to join their promotion push, although they have competition from Huddersfield Town.
Murphy would add pace and creativity to Derby’s attack, although they already have good options out wide.
Lampard’s side have been one of the most dangerous sides in the Championship this season, and Murphy’s arrival would only serve to make Derby more threatening.
Murphy has made just nine Premier League appearances for Newcastle so far this term, making one assist.
