Shelvey opens up on where it all went wrong at Swansea for Premier League cult hero Michu

Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has opened up on where it all went wrong for Premier League cult hero and former Swansea City team-mate Michu.

The Spaniard scored 18 goals in his debut season in the English top-flight and quickly established himself as a fan favourite. However, his second season yielded just two goals and he was loaned to Napoli the subsequent summer, before eventually returning to Spain on a free transfer.

Shelvey feels it was the arrival of Wilfried Bony that curtailed Michu's stellar form, despite the Spaniard's quality.
