Leeds United 'considering' move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Jonjo Shelvey - Yorkshire Post 21/8/23
Leeds United are reportedly considering a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.

The 31-year-old has not played in the Premier League for
Forest since April and appears to be far down the pecking order at the club.
According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are understood to be weighing
up a swoop and Forest are open to offloading him.
There have been numerous departures from the Leeds midfield
this summer and Daniel Farke is currently operating with a threadbare squad.
Adam Forshaw left following the expiry of his contract,
while Marc Roca has left on loan and Tyler Adams has completed a permanent move
to AFC Bournemouth.
Weston McKennie featured regularly after joining on loan
from Juventus last season but returned to his parent club following Leeds’
relegation to the Championship.
Shelvey would add a wealth of experience to the Leeds
midfield, having racked up nearly 300 Premier League appearances.
He only joined Forest in January, when he completed a move
to the City Ground from Newcastle United.
