Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has opened up on where it all went wrong for Premier League cult hero and former Swansea City team-mate Michu.
The Spaniard scored 18 goals in his debut season in the English top-flight and quickly established himself as a fan favourite. However, his second season yielded just two goals and he was loaned to Napoli the subsequent summer, before eventually returning to Spain on a free transfer.
Shelvey feels it was the arrival of Wilfried Bony that curtailed Michu's stellar form, despite the Spaniard's quality.
