Boro Have Bid For Josh Murphy Rejected

Middlesbrough have had a bid for Norwich Winger, Josh Murphy rejected according to Daily Mail journalist, Craig Hope.

Hope used his twitter account @CraigHope_DM to tweet the following on Tuesday evening:

‘Understand Boro have had an offer in region of £4m rejected for Norwich Winger Josh Murphy, brother of Jacob, who will sign for NUFC 2morrow’

So, will City look to cash in on both Murphy twins?

I would expect an uproar if they did. Josh is widely thought to be exactly the same in ability terms as Jacob, it’s just that he hasn’t had the game time to prove it. If he stays, that will almost certainly come next season and we will probably be in the same position next summer.

Assuming there is a will to keep him and I’m hoping there is.

You would imagine that the twins would like to be near each other and a move to the North East for Josh could ease the absence of his brother.

We’ll see.
