West Ham 11/10 favourites to snap up Shelvey from Newcastle

Can Irons secure January deal?

West Ham United could be set to start the new year with the signature of a hugely experienced midfielder.

The man in question is Jonjo Shelvey, and our odds-crunchers make it just 11/10 he joins the Hammers.

They’re comfortably at the head of the betting, though Fulham at 10/1 and Crystal Palace at 14s are both dark horses to be his next club.

A return to London looks likely, with 20/1 shots Southampton the most likely buyers from outside the capital.

Coral’s John Hill said: “Jonjo Shelvey could be set for the exit door at Newcastle this month and it is West Ham who are the favourites to capture the Englishman but they could face competition from Fulham and Crystal Palace.”
