West Bromwich Albion are one of the clubs linked with Norwich City winger Jacob Murphy.
West Bromwich Albion are one of four Premier League clubs in the race for Norwich City winger Josh Murphy, according to the Mirror.
The 22-year-old was one of the bright lights in a disappointing campaign for Norwich back in the Championship, as he scored 10 goals and notched up 9 assists in all competitions last season.
Crystal Palace, Swansea and Southampton are also reported to be lining up a bid for the England U21 international.
Murphy has four years left on his deal at Carrow Road, after signing a new contract in January.
However, following Norwich’s failure to secure promotion back to the Premier League, clubs from England’s top-flight are ready to flex their financial muscles and try to tempt Murphy into leaving the club he has been with since the age of 11.
He is rated at £7 million and whilst West Brom can comfortably afford this fee, offering Callum McManaman as part of a potential deal would sweeten the move and give them an advantage over their Premier League rivals.
Following the success of Matt Phillips, the club will be keen to sign another stand-out performer from the Championship to their ranks.
Callum McManaman is entering the final year of his contract at West Brom
26-year-old McManaman has struggled to make an impact for West Brom after signing from Wigan Athletic in January 2015. He arrived at the Hawthorns with plenty of promise but the move has not quite gone to plan.
The former England U21 winger has made just 25 appearances for the Baggies and he spent the second half of last season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
With his contract up next season, it looks likely that McManaman’s future will be elsewhere.
Despite his struggles in recent years, McManaman has shown that he is capable of being a top performer at Championship level. If Norwich can help him rediscover his form then he can help the Canaries with a promotion push.
