Woman claims Premier League star Jonjo Shelvey 'put on his own highlights' after night out

Jonjo Shelvey didn't get many opportunities to showcase his talents at Nottingham Forest last season, but he did allegedly try to impress one woman after a night out by showing her his highlight reel.

The ex- Liverpool and Newcastle midfielder, 31, is said to have brought a girl, named Sophie, back to his place following a night on the town. Shelvey was with Forest team-mate Chris Wood, who he also played alongside at Newcastle, and the pair are claimed to have been joined later on by former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard, who spent last season in Nottinghamshire.

Sophie, pictured wearing an Arsenal shirt on dating app Hinge, shared the anecdote under the prompt 'Most spontaneous thing I've done'. She wrote in response: "Go back to Jonjo Shelvey's with Lingard and Chris Wood while he proceeds to put his own football clips on YouTube for us to watch, see below."
