At the time of writing this, Sheffield Wednesday fans have been hailing Newcastle United loanee Jacob Murphy, stating that they want the club to sign him on a permanent basis soon.
Would Murphy be worth the money for Wednesday?
Absolutely, he'll be a fine signing
Not sure about it
Murphy celebrated a birthday on the 24th of February and Wednesday posted a message for the player. This left many Wednesday fans raving and they want him to be signed permanently.

Murphy has made 32 appearances in all competitions for Wednesday this season, with 28 of them coming in the Championship. In the league, he has picked up five goals and has one assist to his name.
The 25-year-old has completed 1.6 dribbles per game and also has a tally of 0.8 key passes per game in the Championship. The Englishman has taken 1.5 shots per game for the Owls too.
He has previously been at Norwich City, where he spent multiple loan deals at the likes of Coventry City, Blackpool, Colchester United and Swindon Town. After the Canaries, Newcastle was his second permanent club.
What do we think?
Murphy is Wednesday’s second-highest goalscorer behind Steven Fletcher and out of players who have played at least 10 games in the Championship, he has been the second-best dribbler at the club behind Kadeem Harris.
It shows that he’s had a decent season and Wednesday signing him permanently could do them good.
