da bet7k： According to The Mirror, West Ham United are considering a swoop for Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey in the January transfer window.
What’s the story?
da apostebet： It is hardly breaking news that West Ham boss David Moyes wants to improve his squad next month, and the Scot has consistently spoken of the need to boost his midfield options.
According to The Mirror, Moyes is targeting a move for Shelvey as he is a fan of the six-time England international’s passing qualities.
Shelvey is said to have a difficult relationship with Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez due to his disciplinary problems, and it is thought that the Magpies would be prepared to sell for the right price in the January transfer window.
Newcastle paid Swansea City £12m to sign Shelvey in January 2016, and it is understood that West Ham would have to at least meet that figure in order to sign the midfielder next month.
Would Shelvey be a good signing?
Underneath the red cards and questionable conduct, there is a serious football player.
Shelvey’s passing ability earned him a move to Liverpool in 2010, and he scored seven times in 69 appearances for the Reds before moving on to Swansea.
After 10 goals in 96 appearances for the Welsh outfit, Shelvey joined Newcastle, and he made 42 Championship appearances during their title-winning campaign.
He has already been sent off twice in the Premier League this season, which has led to a strained relationship with Magpies boss Benitez.
Some would argue that Shelvey, who is valued at £9.9m by transfermarkt.co.uk, has had enough chances to prove that the penny has dropped, but a move to West Ham might suit all parties.
He is the type of player and indeed person that could thrive at the London Stadium, and the thought of Shelvey feeding passes through to fellow hot-head Marko Arnautovic is an exciting thought for the West Ham supporters.
