“Jonjo Shelvey Is England’s Future”

After a superb end to last season and equally as good start to this season, Shelvey was recalled to the England squad ahead of last week’s double header against San Marino and Switzerland and impressed enough to earn the plaudits even if he was overshadowed by Wayne Rooney becoming the leading England scorer of all time.

But Shelvey’s performances should be enough to keep him at the front of Roy Hodgson’s mind and to retain his place in the England squad next month as the preparations begin more for them ahead of France next summer.

And if his form continues as it has then there should be no reason why next summer there is little rest for Shelvey as he should join several of his team mates at the Euro 2016 finals giving Swans fans more chance to watch their players in action.

Some of Shelvey’s praise has come from Sky Sports Chris Kamara who wrote “Wayne Rooney may have taken the plaudits for breaking the 50-goal barrier but for me the one thing to take out of England’s two qualifiers last week is that Jonjo Shelvey is the future in the middle of the park.

“We adopted a system of 4-3-3- with loads and loads of pace about it, and having a player there that can really pick a pass like Shelvey worked an absolute treat, he just made everything tick.

“He didn’t have the freedome against Switzerland that he had against San Marino, but he still offered a method of play that we haven’t had in a while.

“I think Roy simply has to persevere with him in that playmaker role. Every time he got the ball against the Swiss he was closed down but that is not necessarily a problem”
