Thursday 31 January 2019 16:45, UK
Newcastle's Jacob Murphy is undergoing a medical at West Brom ahead of a loan deal until the end of the season, Sky Sports News understands.
Talks are in an advanced stage for the 23-year-old winger, who has struggled for game time under Rafa Benitez this season, making just three Premier League starts.
West Brom are looking to strengthen their squad as they challenge for promotion from the Sky Bet Championship and are also interested in Fulham's Aboubakar Kamara.
Murphy has been at Newcastle since he was signed from Norwich in the summer of 2017. He is an England U21 international and came through the ranks at Carrow Road.
