Huddersfield Looking to Strengthen With January Loan Move for Newcastle Winger Jacob Murphy

Huddersfield have reportedly made an enquiry with Premier League rivals Newcastle about a loan move for Jacob Murphy.

The Terriers are desperate to boost their attacking options as they have struggled to score regularly this season. Murphy has had his own difficulties this season too, as he has been unable to claim regular game-time at Newcastle - making just three League starts this term.

The Mirror report that Huddersfield are keen to take Murphy on loan until the end of the season now that the January transfer market is open. The 23-year old has not started for the Magpies in over a month now and has seemingly fallen down Rafa Benitez's pecking order - aside from the occasional rare start, Murphy has been used just five times off the bench.
