Newcastle United prepared to sell Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy this summer | OneFootball

Newcastle United are prepared to sell Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy this summer if they get the right offers, according to the Times.

Manager Eddie Howe is preparing for a potential summer exodus, with several players set to bid farewell at the club’s final home game of the season against West Ham United on Sunday.

Murphy has played 44 games across all competitions this term, weighing in with four goals and five assists. Willock has made 37 appearances, tallying one goal and two assists.

They could be on their way out as the club look to raise funds for a much-needed squad overhaul.

Anthony Gordon is close to agreeing a five-year deal with Bayern Munich, although both clubs are around £20 million apart in their valuation.

Defensive duo Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth will leave Newcastle at the end of the season, while Aaron Ramsdale will return to Southampton at the end of his loan spell.

The Magpies could also sell 34-year-old goalkeeper Nick Pope as they look to significantly lower the average age of their squad.

Reims goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen, who has reportedly reached an agreement in principle to join Newcastle, is his potential replacement.

The Frenchman visited the Magpies’ facilities two weeks ago, and they are in talks with Reims over a deal worth around €20m.

Fabian Schar is out of contract at the end of the season and is expected to move on.
