Jonjo Shelvey Having Newcastle United Medical Ahead of Move
Jonjo Shelvey is currently undergoing a medical check with Newcastle United ahead of completing a move to St. James' Park from Swansea City.
Newcastle have agreed a fee with Swansea for the former Liverpool midfielder and Magpies boss Steve McClaren is keen to quickly tie up Shelvey's capture.
Matters are moving along quickly on the north east and according to the Press Association, Shelvey is currently undergoing his medical with Newcastle.
Shelvey joined Swansea from Liverpool in 2013, with the Welsh giants forking out a fee of £5m to sign the midfielder.
He signed a new four-year contract with Swansea last year, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2019, but now looks set to be on the move just six months later.
The 23-year-old will link up with a Newcastle side currently battling against relegation from the Premier League and Magpies boss McClaren will hope Shelvey can give his team new impetus in the middle of the park.
Shelvey has won six caps for England and may still harbour hopes of forcing his way into Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2016 this coming summer.
