Shelvey wants to stay
Jonjo Shelvey has dampened speculation on his own future by insisting that he wants to stay with Newcastle United.
The midfielder skippered the Magpies during Rafael Benitez' time in charge. However the Spaniard left St James' Park this summer, replaced by Steve Bruce leading to question marks over Shelvey's future with the club.
As well as Benitez having departed, Ayoze Perez and Joselu have also left the club during the transfer window with speculation that Sean Longstaff could be about to join them.
However, Shelvey sought to end questions about his own future, telling the Shields Gazette: "I won't be leaving this football club.
"I don't know who wants me to leave or doesn't want me to leave, but as far as I'm aware I'm a Newcastle United player.
"I've not looked to go anywhere. The past season I've never downed tools. I've always carried on doing the right things, and that's what I'll continue to do. At the end of the day, this club pays your wages. You respect them for that. The fans pay your wages."
Shelvey has been with Newcastle since 2016 but suffered from a lack of playing time last season, making just 16 appearances in the Premier League and had been linked with a move to West Ham this summer.
Newcastle are yet to make any new signings so far this window and are currently in China on a pre-season tour with Bruce, having just been appointed, flying out to join the squad.
They lost 4-0 to Wolves in the Premier League Asia Trophy and have further pre-season games arranged against Hibernian and a home game with St-Etienne before getting the new Premier League season underway with a home game against Arsenal on 11th August.
They are 29/10 to start off with a win with the Gunners 19/20 and the draw 12/5.
Newcastle are priced at 25/1 to finish in the top six in the Premier League next season with Arsenal 1/3.
