West Bromwich Albion are reportedly interested in Newcastle United’s Jacob Murphy.

According to The Telegraph, Jacob Murphy will join West Bromwich Albion on loan from Newcastle United in the January transfer window.

It has been reported that the 23-year-old winger will have a medical at the Championship club early next week and will move to West Brom on loan until the end of the season.

Struggles at Newcastle United

Murphy has struggled to make a big impact at Newcastle since his move from Norwich City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Telegraph to be worth £12 million.

The 23-year-old winger has made three starts and six substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies so far this season, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

During the 2017-18 campaign, the former England Under-21 international made 13 starts and 12 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Rafael Benitez’s side, according to WhoScored.

With West Brom challenging for automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season, Murphy will be a good addition to Darren Moore’s side.
