Martin Keown has tipped Jonjo Shelvey as an outside favourite to make Gareth Southgate's England squad for the Wold Cup.
Shelvey played an influential role in the heart of Newcastle's midfield as they shocked Arsenal with a 2-1 victory on Sunday afternoon and his efforts have seen him put forward for a spot on the plane to Russia.
Speaking on BBC's Match of the Day on Sunday night, former England international Keown felt Shelvey could offer something different to the Southgate's squad that currently doesn't exist. Energy.
'I think he's a special talent,' Keown said.
