Newcastle United targeting Norwich City winger

Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Norwich City winger Josh Murphy, according to HITC.

The Magpies signed his twin brother Jacob Murphy from Norwich City last season and are now looking to lure the second brother to St James’ Park this summer.

Jacob Murphy, and England Under-21 international, was Newcastle’s most expensive signing last summer after he sealed a move from Carrow Road for a reported fee of £12million.

Now the Chronicle are reporting that the Magpies are keen on completing the set and landing his twin brother this summer.

Newcastle’s head of recruitment Steve Nickson is believed to have travelled to Norwich’s game against Sunderland earlier in the month to watch Josh Murphy in action.

The 23-year-old has scored six goals in the Championship this season.

However his brother Jacob has endured a difficult debut season at Newcastle, starting just 11 Premier League games all season and scoring just one goal.
