Glenn Hoddle believes Jonjo Shelvey has 'changed' Newcastle United following a conversation with Eddie Howe over a key role to make the team 'tick'.
The head coach immediately identified the Magpies' playmaker as key figure in his plans following his appointment in November, and the 29-year-old has started all but one of the following 14 fixtures.
Shelvey has formed an effective partnership in midfield alongside Joelinton and Joe Willock, with their performances in recent weeks so far denying Bruno Guimaraes a full black-and-white debut.
