Shelvey eyes England spot Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey wants to become the first player from the club to earn an England call-up.
Shelvey, 21, moved to the Welsh club from Liverpool for £6million on July 3, signing a four-year deal and ending a frustrating spell with the Anfield club.
The one-time England international believes moving to Swansea does his chances of a call up from Roy Hodgson no harm.
"If I play every week, I feel I can get in the England squad," Shelvey said.
I'm sure Roy Hodgson's not bothered who you play for. Look at Ryan Shawcross at Stoke.
"They're not a massive club so I don't think it will affect me coming here.

Niang targets prolific season AC Milan youngster M'Baye Niang is hoping to follow in the goal-scoring footsteps of team-mate Stephan El Shaarawy next term.
The 18-year-old attacker managed just one goal last season for the Serie A side, in the Italian Cup against Reggina, and has been criticised in some quarters for his finishing.
And Niang said he is hopeful of adding to his tally next term, and is looking to emulate his prolific team-mate El Shaarawy, who scored 16 Serie A goals last season - equal third on the league's scoring charts.

Wenger aims to take advantage of stability Arsene Wenger hopes Arsenal's stability can help them break an eight-year trophy drought this season.

Moyes was announced as Ferguson's replacement in May, when the revered tactician chose to retire following almost 27 years in charge.
Despite the momentous task of trying to follow Ferguson's trophy-laden time at Old Trafford, Owen feels Moyes is more than capable of living with the burden of expectation.
"I think everyone would agree it's a great appointment," Owen said.
"It's just in keeping with what Manchester
