Report: Alan Pardew eyes Jonjo Shelvey

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has reportedly decided to offer Jonjo Shelvey a route out of Swansea City this month.

The England midfielder has fallen out of favour at the Liberty Stadium this season, culminating in his omission from the squad for the 2-1 defeat away at Manchester United on Saturday.

It is believed that the Swansea coaching staff have lost patience with the 23-year-old, with question marks over his performances in training and during matches.

However, according to The Telegraph, that has not put off Pardew, who previously worked with the midfielder during his stint in charge of Charlton Athletic.

The report adds that while Swansea are open to the prospect of parting with Shelvey, they will not consider any bids worth less than £10m.

Shelvey is contracted to the South Wales outfit until the summer of 2019.
