Jonjo Shelvey is targeting a European spot in the Premier League with Newcastle United this season. Not since the 2012-13 campaign have the Magpies competed on the continent, when Alan Pardew guided the club to the Europa League quarter-finals.
Jonjo Shelby said: “We need to have a season like West Ham did last year. Fighting for Europe; qualify for the Europa League – that is the next step for this club. We haven’t really set a target but we know we have to use the team spirit from last season – you can see the spirit around the camp. There were so many singers around the hotel after dinner the other night, people were actually volunteering. It’s just a great place to be at the moment. No, before you ask, I’m not a singer! But the club are putting in the foundations to go right to the very top. It’s an honour to still be here and to be part of the journey.”
