Newcastle United could reportedly lose Jonjo Shelvey this summer.
Some Newcastle United fans on Twitter aren’t too upset by the prospect of losing Jonjo Shelvey this summer.
According to The Telegraph, Shelvey is ‘likely’ to leave Newcastle after falling out of favour under Rafael Benitez.
The Spanish manager left him out entirely in recent wins over Burnley and Huddersfield, and did so again in tonight’s trip to West Ham.
The 27-year-old featured for the Magpies Under-23 side on Friday night after Benitez told him that he’d play no part against the Irons.

But some fans of the North-East side don’t seem overly bothered about the prospect of losing him.
Shelvey, who has been injured, hasn’t played for Newcastle since the FA Cup draw with Blackburn Rovers on January 5.
