Swansea ready to sell Newcastle and Crystal Palace target Shelvey if 'firm offer' comes in

ALAN CURTIS admits Swansea will listen to offers Jonjo Shelvey.

 

Jonjo Shelvey can leave Swansea if a firm offer comes in

 

The England midfielder has been linked with Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

And Curtis, who was named Swans manager until the end of the season last week, says Shelvey could leave the club this month if a firm offer is made.

“I know there’s been enquiries for Jonjo, but I don’t think there’s been any firm offers for him,” Curtis said.

 

“If a firm offer comes in for him then it’s something the club would probably consider.”

Shelvey fears for his place in next summer's England squad after falling out of favour at the Liberty Stadium.

Newcastle, though, have completed a move for Henri Saivet on a five-and-a-half-year deal which may reduce their interest in Shelvey.

The former Liverpool man has four England caps but has made just one Premier League start - against Palace - since November 21.

"I still think he has a part to play with us and if his mind is right then he can play a huge part for us between now and the end of the season," Curtis added.

"If his mind is right and he wants to stay gladly we would welcome his decision to stay with us until the end of the season.

"I think a fit and firing Jonjo could be a huge asset to us.

"If needs be, we have to bring someone else in on the back of selling somebody like Jonjo, that is maybe an avenue the club might have to go down."
