West Ham are eyeing Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.

The Mirror says David Moyes is lining up a shock move for Newcastle midfielder Shelvey.

West Ham boss Moyes is desperate to strengthen his midfield in January as he sees that department as key to the club's survival.

And Shelvey is on Moyes' transfer wish-list as he believes his passing and aggression could be crucial as he looks to rebuild his squad.

Shelvey, 25, has been dropped and sent off twice this season and is no longer a guaranteed starter under Rafa Benitez.
