NEWCASTLE UNITED WINGER JACOB MURPHY IS EYEING BIGGER AND BETTER AFTER WINNING THE CARABAO CUP WITH THE MAGPIES AND HAS HELD TALKS WITH EX-ENGLAND COACH GRAEME JONES ABOUT WHAT IS NEEDED TO
GET INTO THE NEXT THREE LIONS SQUAD 18:00, 31 Mar 2025 Jacob Murphy admits seeing Dan Burn called up for England has made him reach for the skies as far as playing for the Three Lions is
concerned. The 30-year-old's Newcastle performances have certainly not gone unnoticed by England scouts with Murphy on the 55-man shortlist of Thomas Tuchel's possible call-ups for
the World Cup qualifying programme. Tuchel showed he was not afraid to make surprise decision by calling up Burn for the clashes with Albania and Latvia earlier this month. Now Murphy wants
to join the party and said: "That's a conversation me and coach Graeme Jones have been having for a number of seasons. Just got to keep putting in performances and they're
always casting an eye out on all the English players. "To see Dan get his call up was amazing. It does give you that extra motivation to know that it really is possible. We’ve got
Gordy, Lewis Hall, Tino and when you’re kicking it with them every week you know what you have to offer, you think there’s every chance in the future. I keep my head down and – you know –
I’ve just won a Cup with Newcastle so who’s to say no to getting a call-up?" Murphy has been one of the mainstays in Eddie Howe's team this season and fought off competition from
Miguel Almiron before the Paraguay international's tearful departure in the winter window to Atlanta. But it was Murphy fighting back the tears on Saturday as an open top bus toured the
city. Article continues below Murphy said: "I didn't know there were that many people in Newcastle. You drive these streets daily, weekly, but then to see them full of people is
something that you can't really put into words. It looked unbelievable. "As a club we want to be doing that every season. Now, without putting too much pressure on ourselves,
we've set a level and that's what we have to be aiming for and striving for every season. Granted, it's not going to happen every year because wonderful teams up and down the
country are going to make it difficult for us, but these are moments that now that we've got a taste for it we want it again."
