Report: West Ham ready to reignite their interest in Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey

According to reports from The Chronicle, West Ham are ready to reignite their interest in Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey during the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old was on West Ham’s transfer wish-list during the January transfer window, but the Magpies weren’t keen in selling him at that time.

However, Newcastle’s stance could change after Shelvey has slipped down the pecking order at St James’ Park. It has been reported that an offer in the region of £20m is on the table for the former Liverpool midfielder.

If the club indeed decide to cash in on him, Rafael Benitez will be seeking assurances that the money gets reinvested in the squad.
