Newcastle United winger Jacob Murphy has completed a season-long loan switch to Sheffield Wednesday.

The wideman becomes the Owls’ sixth signing of the summer after former boss Steve Bruce gave Murphy the green light to depart, after a pre-season where he failed to impress.

Since signing for Newcastle for around £12million, Murphy has failed to establish himself as a regular at St James’s Park.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at West Brom, playing 15 times for the Baggies.
