According to Sky Sports' Keith Downie, Everton have identified Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy as a primary target to reinforce their forward line this summer. The 31-year-old has entered the final 12 months of his contract at St James' Park and, with the Magpies facing a squad overhaul following a lack of European football, Eddie Howe is reportedly willing to sell the player rather than lose him for free next year. Rumours suggest a fee between £10M and £13M could complete the deal as Newcastle look to balance their finances.

Everton are planning a move for Newcastle player Jacob Murphy as they prepare for Dwight McNeil's exit, and an enquiry has been made. Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie reported that Everton are interested in signing the winger. According to Downie, the 31-year-old has 12 months left on his contract with Newcastle and could leave this summer. The reporter also noted that there is interest from Everton, although no offer has been made for Murphy yet. TEAMtalk reported that Everton have made enquiries regarding his availability, but no concrete bids have been submitted. Eddie Howe is reluctant to let Jacob Murphy leave before Newcastle signs a new winger, and several other teams are also interested.
