Newcastle have signed winger Jacob Murphy from Norwich.

Sky Sports News understands the fee to be £10m, but could rise to £12m with appearance related add-ons.

Murphy passed a medical in Dublin on Tuesday before training with his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday.

He becomes manager Rafa Benitez's third signing of the summer following the additions of winger Christian Atsu and defender Florian Lejeune.

"It was a childhood dream of mine to represent Newcastle and the opportunity is now here. I can't wait to get started," Murphy told the club's website.

Murphy scored 10 times for Norwich last season and was one of the standout performers for England at this summer's U21 European Championship in Poland.
