He's an attacking midfielder (central, has also played as second striker) Smart passer, good shot & physically well developed for his age. Has also captained England U16's. His manager Pardew has hyped him up in the press & I read a while ago Portsmouth were interested in him. One to look out for.
He just scored a goal today in Charlton Athletics 1-1 draw with Norwich City in todays third round of the FA Cup.
I personally do not think he will have much choice in the matter, because Charlton Athletic will probably look to cash in on Jonjo Shelvey this particular summer, now that they have been relegated to devision one, dispite what they might say publicly. But whoever does buy Jonjo Shelvey should Charlton Athletic first choose too sell him?, will have a genuine potentialy great young football player on there hands, should he avoid major injurys keep his desire and hunger of coarse etc etc. Think Steven Gerrard but who could be better, and that is how good i think that Jonjo Shelvey could one day become, if he first and foremost goes to the right football club, and more importantly gets the right football manager, who can guide him in the right way IMO.
