Fulham reportedly agree terms with West Ham target Murphy

Fulham have reportedly agreed terms with West Ham target Luca Murphy, according to a report from Teamtalk.

Murphy, who plays for Hartlepool in the National League, has attracted interest from numerous clubs despite only being 17-years-old.

Wolves and West Ham have shown an interest, but have also been joined by the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Murphy could be on his way to Fulham, who have reportedly tracked the defender for a while.

Playing as a centre-back for Hartlepool’s under-19 side, Murphy has impressed many scouts sent to watch him.

The defender is set for talks with the struggling Premier League side, however no deal is certain yet with other clubs also looking into a potential switch.

West Ham could make a late swoop for Murphy, but with the likes of Manchester United and Spurs interested in the youngster, it could be a tough battle to secure his signature.
