Rafael Benitez believes Newcastle United's Jonjo Shelvey is the man to solve England's creative problems in midfield.
When asked if Shelvey is good enough for England, Benitez replied: "For me, yes, for sure. He has the quality, he has the vision and he can make the passes that the strikers like, in behind the defenders and things like that.
"But especially because, in a squad, you have to have different kinds of players. I don't see too many like Jonjo in the team.
"Southgate is the manager. He has to decide. I am the manager of Newcastle United. Shelvey is my player.
"Can he play for England? Yes."
