A intellectual thinks Newcastle United could hope to supplant Jonjo Shelvey soon and has named a 'champion' player who might make a splendid showing in their midfield.
Shelvey came through Charlton Athletic's foundation prior to making his first-group debut for the club in April 2008. He would play multiple times for Charlton, scoring eight objectives, before Liverpool came in for him in 2010.
The focal midfielder proceeded to show up for Liverpool, either side of a credit spell at Blackpool. He was sold by the Reds three years after his landing in Anfield, as Swansea paid £5.2million for him.
Shelvey has been at Newcastle since January 2016. Last season, the six-cap England global highlighted in 25 matches in all rivalries.
Eddie Howe gave him the commander's armband towards the finish of the time in the wake of choosing to leave common captain Jamaal Lascelles on the seat.
Shelvey, presently 30, has all the earmarks of being a significant piece of Howe's arrangements going ahead. That is in spite of them having the funds to get top-class midfielders like Bruno Guimaraes.
In any case, savant Noel Whelan figures the Magpies might choose to sign a superior player in Shelvey's situation in the following couple of years.
Also, the previous striker tipped Southampton expert James Ward-Prowse to succeed at St James' Park.
James Ward-Prowse supported to supplant Jonjo Shelvey
"I think while you're taking a gander at updates, and you're taking a gander at Jonjo Shelvey, he's (Ward-Prowse) to a greater degree a case to-box," Whelan told Football Insider.
"He's forceful in midfield, he has that set-piece speciality I don't think Jonjo Shelvey has reliably.
"I think he gets you more objectives and dominates you more matches, assuming you will ask me who fits better in that midfield.
"I believe he's a phenomenal player, I truly do. Each time I see him for England, he doesn't watch awkward, he looks completely relaxed.
"On the off chance that you're taking a gander at a champion player in a specific group, well he's head and shoulders in those Southampton positions.
"I in all actuality do accept that these are the kind of signings Newcastle have been reasonable about. They're going for players that, everything being equal, can work in their group, however they can likewise overcome the door."This is them, once more, advancing and constructing a truly cutthroat side in this Premier League."
Ward-Prowse would unquestionably be a fabulous getting paperwork done for Newcastle. He is getting global involvement in England and is likewise one of the most mind-blowing free-kick takers in Premier League history.
Notwithstanding, Newcastle might battle to catch the 27-year-old from St Mary's. Aston Villa made a £25million bid for him the previous summer, just for it to be promptly dismissed.
Furthermore, Ward-Prowse currently has an agreement with Southampton which goes on until 2026, and that implies they need to sell no time soon.
Howe can as of now use Shelvey, Guimaraes and Joelinton in midfield, among others. Maybe it would be better for the Magpies to advance different situations prior to supplanting Shelvey in a couple of years' time.
