Newcastle turned down bids from Nottingham Forest for Jacob Murphy, who was linked with moves away this summer. It had been reported that Matthias Jaissle was central to the decision to keep Murphy. According to Jaissle, the players were doing good in the pre-season and showed their quality, and he thinks they still have the potential to do even better, so the decision was made that this is the final squad.

According to Craig Hope, Forest made two unsuccessful bids for Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy with a value of up to $20.3 million (£15 million).

According to TEAMtalk, Nottingham Forest are attempting to complete a late deal for Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy, and club-to-club talks are now underway as the transfer window is in its final hours. Personal terms have not yet been agreed and Newcastle have not confirmed they will approve an exit. The Magpies have been prepared to listen to offers for several senior players. The deal's completion before the deadline depends on whether Murphy is prepared to leave.
