Considering Mowbray has an eye for youth with signings such as Dorrans at WBA, it wouldn't completely surprise me.
He also bought Fortune on the back of his performance for Nanct at FP and IIRC, Murphy wa sour only shining light that night.
More than likely to be a rumour but it is plausible.
Massive season beckons for Murphy, his performance the other night was a slight cause for concern.
