The 23 year old has been Crewe's stand-out performer this season and is reportedly being tracked by a number of Premier League and Championship sides.
However, it is Aston Villa who seem the most determined to land the signature of the former Gresty Road academy player. Murphy would add some much needed creativity in the Villa centre where assists have been lacking this season.
Crewe will try desperately to keep Murphy in the January window but with him attracting so much attention they know they face an uphill battle. If Aston Villa, as expected, table an offer that is deemed acceptable then the player would be keen to test his skills at the highest level.
Murphy is currently under contact to the North West side until 2014. Lambert, who sent representatives to watch Murphy in the 3-3 midweek draw with Sheffield United, has been impressed by the youngsters start to the season and sees him as an ideal addition to his squad.
