Jonjo Shelvey is poised to win a new contract at Newcastle.
The long-serving United midfielder has signalled his intent to stay part of the club’s Saudi-funded revolution under Eddie Howe. Shelvey is backing himself to be a mainstay in Howe’s midfield plans despite the arrival of Brazil midfielder Bruno Giumaraes and the spending power to buy more in the coming years.
Shelvey has one season left on his current deal and is set to trigger an extension of another year to take him up to almost eight years on Tyneside. The former Liverpool and England star said: “I’ve got three games to get another year, and hopefully I should do that this season. I mean, I’d be a bit worried if I didn’t!
