Newcastle United have submitted an increased offer for Norwich City winger Jacob Murphy.

The Magpies are understood to have upped their bid significantly to £10million with a series of instalments depending on first team appearances and other milestones.

As reported on Chroniclelive on Thursday evening, the Canaries are determined to dig their heels in and get what they see as the full value for the England Under-21 winger.

City sporting director Stuart Webber had met Carrow Road fans at a forum and told them that Murphy will only be sold if the deal is right for Norwich.

When asked about the Murphy deal by a fan, Webber quipped: “You’ve been reading the Newcastle Chronicle haven’t you?”

Benitez had said earlier: “

The top sides have a lot of money and the others are spending too.

“It’s not easy for a lot of teams because the market is a little bit crazy.

“We have to try to do our best.

“We know where we are - that is not ideal because everybody wants to see a lot of players signing already - but we have to keep working and see what we can do.”
