JACOB MURPHY JOINS SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY ON LOAN

Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy has joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old linked up with the Championship side on the final day of the summer transfer window, and will remain at Hillsborough until the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

He could be in line to make his bow for the Owls when they host Barnsley on Saturday afternoon.

Murphy joined the Magpies from Norwich City in July 2017, and has made 41 appearances to date in his two years at United – netting once, against Manchester City in January 2018.

Last term, he spent time on loan at West Bromwich Albion, where he scored two goals in 15 outings for the Baggies.
