Liverpool and Tottenham reportedly battling to sign Wembley youngster

Liverpool and Tottenham are battling to sign Jacob Murphy from Norwich City, the Sunday People say.

The 21-year-old from Wembley has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs in recent months.

And the People claim that Liverpool will make an offer for him and agree to loan him back to Norwich for the rest of the season.

The Reds believe this will help them beat Tottenham to the signing of Murphy, it is claimed.

The same newspaper recently suggested that Everton would make a move for both Jacob and Josh Murphy during this month’s transfer window.

The twins were snapped up by Norwich as schoolboys and have been with the East Anglian club for more than a decade.
