West Bromwich Albion are poised to sign Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy after their FA Cup tie at Brighton.

Murphy, the Newcastle winger, is expected to have a medical early next week before joining on loan for the rest of the season.

Albion head coach Darren Moore has moved for Murphy, 23, after agreeing to send Bakary Sako to former club Crystal Palace.

Murphy was signed from Norwich for around £12m in July 2017 but has only started four games for Rafael Benitez since September.

West Brom are also working on other signings, with Bournemouth’s Tyrone Mings and Fulham’s Kevin McDonald in Moore’s sights.
