Newcastle United are planning contract talks with Jacob Murphy amid interest from Southampton and Watford, Football Insider reports.
The 26-year-old has been with the Magpies since 2017 but has made only 67 appearances, having spent time away from the club on loan.
However, he has proved his value in defence this term and has been a key player in the recent upturn in league form.
Since the beginning of March, Murphy has started four of the club’s six league matches, registering one goal and one assist.
His current deal with the Magpies expires in 14 months, but the club are likely to open negotiations over a new long-term contract.
