Jonjo Shelvey to join Blackpool

Liverpool youngster Jonjo Shelvey has agreed to be loaned out to Championship side Blackpool according to Sky Sports. The 19 year old Shelvey is hailed as one of Liverpool’s brightest youth prospects and many clubs have evinced interest in taking him on a short term loan deal.

However Blackpool, who won plaudits for their attacking performance in the Premier League last season, have won the race for his signature. The loan switch also re-unites Shelvey with Thomas Ince and Gerardo Bruna, who joined Blackpool on permanent deals from Liverpool earlier this summer.

With Liverpool’s midfield already being so crowded, manager Dalglish believes that Shelvey’s greatest chance of first team football lies in a loan switch to a lower division club.
