News about Jacob Murphy

Liverpool have a shot at taking a four-point advantage over their Premier League title rivals this weekend as they get us going in the 12:30pm Saturday kick-off against Crystal Palace. Gameweek 7 also offers peril if you're connected with Manchester United , particularly if your name is Erik ten Hag . The Red Devils face a trip to Aston Villa and a negative result could spell time on the Dutchman's Old Trafford reign. Erling Haaland didn't score last weekend against Newcastle, believe it or not, but still costs you the prettiest penny out of all with a price of £15.3million.

CRAIG HOPE: Eddie Howe says Newcastle CANNOT afford to sign players in the two priority positions he had wanted this window, as he all but ruled out both a centre-back and right-winger arriving in the coming days. The Magpies are closing in on a £70million deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, with Howe having told new sporting director Paul Mitchell that the England man is his No.1 choice this summer. However, the head coach had also hoped for a new right-winger, an area in which he currently has Miguel Almiron and Jacob Murphy. Mail Sport reported last week that the club-record outlay on Guehi would leave no scope for a wideman, and Howe confirmed this on Tuesday.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: In a fourth season of Saudi-led ownership, the first substitution made by Newcastle United was Emil Krafth for Jacob Murphy - two players bought by Mike Ashley for Steve Bruce and Rafa Benitez. That is not a slight on either player. Murphy has revived his top-flight career under Eddie Howe and was a worthy starter. Krafth came on when Fabian Schar was sent off after half an hour and played a part in seeing home a hardy 1-0 win. But the change served to highlight where the club is at, especially on a day usually reserved for excitement and anticipation around new signings. Newcastle had none in the starting XI. 

The 2024-25 season is almost upon us, with Manchester United and Fulham set to kickstart the new Premier League campaign at Old Trafford on Friday. With so many players to choose from, Fantasy Premier League managers have plenty to ponder ahead of the opening weekend, with popular premiums as expensive as they've ever been and an abundance of budget options to choose from. With that in mind, Mail Sport - with help from our friends over at Fantasy Football Hub - have forged a panel of experts to predict each game's full-time result and the players they expect to score the most points in Gameweek 1.

Newcastle have launched their new away kit with a brilliant video. The video, which focuses on fans travelling on a train to an away game, includes a host of current and former Newcastle stars. The kit has burgundy and navy hoops, which bears a strong resemblance to Newcastle's famous away kit from the 1995-96 season. 

Eddie Howe hailed 'electric' Alexander Isak after the striker showed his class on a stormy night in Japan. Isak was on target in a convincing 4-1 win for Newcastle United over Urawa Red Diamonds in a hot and humid Saitama today. Jacob Murphy also netted twice, while a Lewis Hall strike was deflected into the net. The form of Isak and Murphy is a boost for Howe, who is waiting on summer reinforcements for his squad.

Rio and Kate Ferdinand shared an insight into his son Lorenz's lavish 18th birthday party on Instagram on Thursday.  The former England footballer and ex TOWIE star looked happier than ever as they hit the dance floor during the boozy bash.  Lorenz was treated to personalised cocktails during the evening as he celebrated with friends and family. 

CRAIG HOPE: After exceeding expectations to qualify for the Champions League in 2022-23, this season was a more trying one for Newcastle. They were booted out of the Champions League at the group stage, lost six Premier League games in seven over the winter period - 14 across the 38 games - and were knocked out of both cup competitions at the quarter-final stage. The Magpies struggled with an injury crisis during the season, and despite improving in the final months of the season, they missed out on Europe despite finishing seventh - after Manchester United kicked them out by winning the FA Cup.

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: If this does indeed prove to be Erik ten Hag's farewell to Old Trafford, at least he goes out with a win. Manchester United gave their manager the kind of performance that has so often been lacking in this most wretched of seasons. The kind that will make Ten Hag wonder what might have been. Where has this spirit been for the past 10 months? This backbone? Who knows, Ten Hag may yet get another shot. But if his team had played like this on a more regular basis, the Dutchman wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. Bruno Fernandes has rarely let Ten Hag down and on Wednesday night he played like he had a point to prove in a week when his own future at United has come under scrutiny.

Rio Ferdinand 's eldest son Lorenz has signed with New Era Global Sports Management, joining his dad and uncle Anton at the agency. The 17-year-old signed with Brighton as their Under-18s goalkeeper in 2022 and has made 18 appearances for the Seagulls' junior squad this term. New Era's current Premier League clients include Everton defenders Ben Godfrey and Michael Keane as well as Jacob Murphy. In addition to current stars, the agency also represents the interests of Ferdinand, Mick McCarthy, Harry Redknapp and Robbie Savage.

By sports analytics firm SofaScore, Manchester United's only had one player selected in the FA Cup team of the round. The Red Devils came from behind to win by 4-3 over Liverpool in extra time over the tournament's semi-finals. In a game just as action packed, Coventry defeated Wolves 3-2 in a game that was still packed, while Chelsea made life miserable for themselves in a 4-2 victory over Leicester. So who made Sofascore's team of the quarter-finals? Mail Sport takes a look at what the sport has to offer.

Following Chelsea's 3-2 victory over Newcastle, Tim Sherwood conducted an uncomfortable interview with Cole Palmer that left the Chelsea star looking stunned after remarks regarding his coworkers. With a narrow victory over the Magpies, the Blues won their first league victory since the middle of February, thanks to goals from Nicolas Jackson, Palmer himself, and Mykhailo Mudryk. Alexander Isak of Newcastle had cancelled out Jackson's opener until Jacob Murphy pulled one back later today, but Mauricio Pochettino's side held out.

Manchester United and Brighton have each sustained 28 injuries, while Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been dealt with 27 lay-offs. Liverpool and Chelsea have each sustained 27 separate injuries, highlighted by the combined 19 absentees from their matchday squads for the Carabao Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Here's a little info: Dan Ashworth does not have to smuggle out of St James' Park. Newcastle United will not defend. They will, on the other hand, return to their own creations after a storm. Here was another tumultuous match laying bare their inabilities two weeks after a 4-4 draw at home to Luton. Two points dropped? In truth, this was one point gained, much as Luton. If this is Ashworth's last game as the club's sporting director, to end it with Jacob Murphy as an emergency striker, Newcastle's third game of the afternoon does not sound promising.

The highly rated 18-year-old has excelled in City's academy, and the Magpies are now closing in on a new one. If the two sides agree to a contract, the adolescent is expected to have a medical at St James' Park in the coming days. Harrison has compared himself to City's star striker Erling Haaland for his appearance, as well as statistics and assists for the club's youth teams.

Since undergoing thigh surgery, Newcastle midfielder Joelinton will miss the bulk of the season, according to the club. During the Magpies' FA Cup win over Sunderland on January 6, the Brazilian was forced to leave. The 27-year-old had been expected to miss around six weeks, but the decision to now means the player will be out before May.

Newcastle are more likely to do any transfer activity at the end of the January window than at the start, according to Eddie Howe. The Magpies have been plagued by injuries over the first month of the season, with more than any other Premier League team so far this season, while Sandro Tonali is out for the season after being suspended for ten months for ten months for violating betting rules.

Joe Willock told Arsenal players that the ball had gone out in the build-up to Newcastle's controversial goal that resulted in them a 1-0 victory over the Gunners in the Premier League last month. Willock was after a shot by Jacob Murphy that seemed to be going out for an Arsenal goal-kick before Willock chased the ball and crossed into the box. Joelinton scuffed the ball back to the waiting Gordon, who then tapped the ball into the goal amid a slew of Arsenal defenders and goalkeeper David Raya.

Manchester United's plans for Saturday night's Premier League match against Newcastle United were jeopardized after their flight was postponed. On Saturday morning, Erik ten Hag's crew was scheduled to fly north-east from Manchester Airport at 11 a.m. However, when the passengers arrived at the airport to drop their cars off at 10 a.m., they were told that due to the weather and technical difficulties, their flight was cancelled.

With twelve games being played already this season, the Premier League is approaching its halfway point. Chelsea's pulsating 4-4 draw against Manchester City the other week has sparked some exciting thrillers. However, a fair amount of bad play has occurred as a result of a string of newly promoted teams's appearances at the bottom of the table. Mail Sport has rated every Premier League team's performance in the first week of this season, from high-flying Villa to the tragic Burnley, and ranked how they have fared so far. We've already started with part one; now read the second part of the story that features Liverpool, Manchester United, and Spurs.

The Premier League never fails to entertain, and last weekend was no different, as we saw a chaotic few days of action. We were treated to 30 goals in ten enthralling games, a slew of fun times, and, of course, there was also VAR drama. With five goals, two reds cards, and a slew of tense VAR calls, this culminated in Monday's London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea, which will go down as one of the most exciting Premier League matches of all time.

Newcastle United defeated Arsenal 1-0 thanks to Anthony Gordon's controversial goal. Referee Stuart Atwell had plenty to think about when Kai Havertz came in late on Sean Longstaff and Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes about the rash use of his elbow. The deadlock continued unbroken until about the 67th minute, when Jacob Murphy scrambled his arm wide, but former Arsenal defender Joe Willock fought it out and back to Gordon's back post to slam home after a brief scramble.

JOE BERNSTEIN OF MOLINEUX: It's a long way from Chuncheon, South Korea, to Wolverhampton, but Hwang Hee-chan is more at home in the West Midlands. Five times Wolves have participated in the Premier League at Molineux this season, and five times the popular forward has scored. After having already forfeited a harshly awarded penalty, he delivered a dramatic equalizer against Newcastle on Saturday. The 27-year-old's return to six goals in Wolves' first ten games is the best for the club in the top flight since legendary striker Derek Dougan 50 years ago. Since suffering from injuries, he's demonstrating why he borrowed £14 million from Leipzig at the start of last year.

Footage of the Borussia Dortmund team bus being issued a parking ticket during its time in Newcastle for the club's Champions League match against the Magpies has surfaced. After losing to PSG and drawing with AC Milan, the German side travelled to Tyneside this week, hoping for their first European victory of the season. However, their ride didn't go exactly smooth, as shown by a video posted on social media on Thursday afternoon, a parking attendant putting a ticket on the front of the team bus after it had stopped by the side of the road and taken up several parking spaces.
