Newcastle United are facing a dilemma as Premier League rivals eye a move for their versatile winger, Jacob Murphy.
Football Insider reports interest from Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, with the Magpies valuing the 28-year-old at £25 million.
Originally acquired from Norwich for £12 million in 2017, Murphy has evolved into a crucial utility player for Newcastle. Under Eddie Howe, he has become a consistent presence in the squad, delivering performances across various positions.
Despite the potential profit of £13 million, the idea of parting ways with the Englisham has become less appealing for the club. The manager's praise for the winger's exceptional training efforts highlights his commitment, even if translating that into match performances has posed challenges in the past.
Currently sidelined with a dislocated shoulder, Murphy is among Newcastle's numerous long-term casualties. Considering the squad's injury woes, the prospect of selling a first-team player in January is firmly rejected by the Magpies. The increased valuation reflects the player's enhanced importance to the team, making him a player they are determined to retain amidst growing interest.
