Shelvey prepared to delay Liverpool return for Blackpool stay

Jonjo Shelvey is enjoying his loan spell at ChampionshipBlackpool so much he has asked parent club Liverpool can he remain with the Seasiders until the end of the season. Shelvey has yet to make his mark at Anfield but has scored six times since moving to Bloomfield Road two months ago.

"Blackpool are a good team with good players and I have asked Liverpool if I can stay here for the season," said the 19-year-old.

"It is not that far from home and I think we could achieve something. I am really enjoying it here.

"Obviously I want to break into the Liverpool side, but I think playing at a good club gives me the best chance of doing that."
