Norwich and Newcastle have agreed a fee of £12m, personal terms have also been settled and the deal will be confirmed in the next 24 hours. As Newcastle are currently undergoing pre-season training in Ireland, the England U21 international flew to Dublin to complete a medical.
Murphy, who played for England U21s at the European Championship in Poland this summer as they reached the semi-finals, had been heavily linked with Newcastle this summer.
If the deal is completed, he would become Newcastle's fifth signing, as the English side prepare for their return to the Premier League.
