Michael Brown comments on Newcastle’s interest in Xherdan Shaqiri
Pundit Michael Brown has given his verdict on Xherdan Shaqiri’s potential move to Newcastle United.
The Liverpool winger has been linked with the Magpies but Brown is unsure about how he would fit in at St James’ Park.
The former Spurs and Leeds ace accepts that Shaqiri is a good player with an X-factor but his workrate could be a problem.
He also added that Shaqiri’s role under Steve Bruce is unclear as well.
Brown feels that Bruce will demand more work-ethic from the Swiss winger.
He said to Football Insider: “I think he has got that X-factor ability, for sure, but the question is where do you play him and the work ethic?
