The transfer rumour mill is a fast-paced smattering of elements of truth mixed up with a whole lot of smoke. Nonetheless, sifting through the mess can be fruitful (sometimes), so let\u2019s take a look at the transfer turnstile that was today.<\/p>\n
Newcastle United have been without top-flight football for long enough. The club are wasting no time, seemingly looking to make the most of their first season as a newly promoted club. There are three reports making their way around Newcastle, all of which make a bit of sense.<\/p>\n
Newcastle seem poised to complete a deal to sign Norwich City\u2019s Jacob Murphy<\/a>, according the Daily Mirror. At\u00a0\u00a38million, the former England U-21 seems worth the asking price for Benitez. At just 22, he has enough experience not to hinder, but also enough room to grow with an experienced manager.<\/p>\n Winger Jesus Navas is said to be on Rafa Benitez’s radar by several publications including The Mirror<\/a> and The Sun<\/a>. The player was touted for a return to Spain, but it appears Sevilla have balked at the asking price. The Mirror goes on to claim that Joe Hart is also a possibility for Newcastle, as former would-be suitors West Ham have become cool.<\/p>\n Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph is an interesting situation. While not panning out quite as some were hoping for at The Etihad, he still finds himself on the periphery of Gareth Southgate for a coveted spot in England’s World Cup squad. According to The Mail<\/a> on Sunday, Newcastle might just provide him with a chance to prove his worth. Stoke are also said to be in for Delph.<\/p>\n Exclusive: Newcastle trying to finalise a deal for Norwich City\u2019s Jacob Murphy | @Neil_Moxley<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/w3rpH6KYML<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/fQeAt6gHWm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mirror Football (@MirrorFootball) July 9, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
