Charlton Athletic: Charlton sign Murphy in shock move

Charlton have signed England midfielder Danny Murphy from Liverpool for £2.5million.

The former Crewe man was set to join Tottenham when a fee was agreed but the deal collapsed when Spurs boss Jacques Santini could not guarantee a regular first-team place.

Addicks boss Alan Curbishley has stepped in to sign the 27-year-old, saying: "Danny is a player we have been tracking for some time, but he only became available last week," said Curbishley.
