Jonjo Shelvey says he moved his family and football career to Dubai because he doesn’t want to bring up children in the UK.
After being released by Burnley this summer, Shelvey took a surprising move to join the Arabian Falcons, a club in the second tier of the UAE’s league system. The club are managed by his friend Harry Agombar, who Shelvey played with as a child in the Arsenal academy, and count former Manchester United midfielder Ravel Morrison among their multi-national squad.
