Flourishing on the pitch, Murphy is also making moves off it.
The winger has left New Era Global Sports, the agency that helped finalise his £12million move to Newcastle from Norwich City in July 2017, and joined Wasserman.
“We are delighted to announce the signing of @nufc winger @jacobmurphy95,” Wasserman wrote on X. “Jacob has been on fine form this season, with 12 goal contributions in the Premier League alone.
“From all of us at #TeamWass, welcome to the family.
Wasserman represents a host of players across world football, the biggest name being Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, while players in the Premier League include Liverpool’s Curtis Jones, Manchester City pair Manuel Akanji and John Stones, and Bournemouth’s Ilya Zabarnyi.
