Norwich accept Newcastle's £12.5 million bid for Jacob Murphy - reports

Newcastle have had an increased bid for Norwich winger Jacob Murphy accepted, according to multiple reports.

The Magpies had two earlier offers for the England Under-21 international turned down, but appear set to complete their third summer signing after increasing their bid to a reported £12.5 million.

Murphy, 22, will travel back to the UK to discuss personal terms with Newcastle after being included in Norwich's squad for their summer tour to Germany.

His pending arrival will be welcomed by Magpies boss Rafael Benitez, who has been frustrated so far this summer in his attempts to strengthen his squad following promotion back to the Premier League.
