Newcastle have announced the signing of winger Jacob Murphy from Norwich for an undisclosed fee.

The Magpies had an increased offer of £12m for Murphy accepted on Tuesday and the England Under-21 international has now become their third summer signing.

'He's a young and talented player and hopefully he can develop even more here,' Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez told the club's official website.
