The Norwich City winger is reportedly attracting attention from Leicester City and Crystal Palace, and West Ham United should join the party.
West Ham manager David Moyes will be determined to bolster his options at the London Stadium in the summer, in an attempt to build a squad who are capable of challenging for the Europa League spots.
One particular area where the Scot will want to strengthen is his wide attacking department, what with Michail Antonio’s ongoing injury problems and Robert Snodgrass unlikely to return following his loan stint with Aston Villa.
With this in mind, the Hammers should consider making a summer move for Norwich City winger Josh Murphy, who is attracting interest from Crystal Palace and Leicester City, according to the Mirror.
The report claims that the Canaries could be forced to sell one of their prized assets due to financial concerns, and the 23-year-old would be a useful addition to Moyes’ squad.
Murphy primarily operates as a left-winger, but can play anywhere along the front-line. He is incredibly quick, and play with a certain kind of directness that would help add some potency to West Ham’s play in the final third.
He has been in superb form this season, scoring 10 goals in 42 appearances for Norwich in all competitions thus far, and that kind of attacking output is exactly what the Hammers need.
The English winger is still under contract at Carrow Road until the summer of 2021, so Norwich would surely demand a fairly substantial transfer fee, but Wets Ham should not hesitate to test the Canaries’ resolve in the summer.
