Newcastle United are hoping to seal a £10m deal for Swansea City star Jonjo Shelvey this weekend, according to reports.

Toon boss Steve McClaren has been monitoring Shelvey for some time now and the Sun are reporting he has now asked owner Mike Ashley to make a move.

Shelvey has fallen out of favour at the Liberty Stadium during the past couple of months and failed to even make the matchday squad against Manchester United last weekend.

Caretaker boss Alan Curtis has insisted Shelvey does have a future at the club but has admitted the England star is frustrated at his lack of game time.

"I would want him to stay. I spoke to him this morning. I think he’s got a huge part to play," he said.

"We feel he’s a huge part of what could be a difficult run-in but one we’re looking forward to."

West Ham and Crystal Palace have also been heavily linked with a move in the January transfer window and it is understood the Swans would be willing to listen to significant offers.

Shelvey moved to south Wales from Liverpool in a £5m switch in July 2013. He signed a new four-year deal at the club ahead of this season, starting the season in wonderful form before his recent slump.
