"If I play every week, I feel I can get in the England squad," Shelvey said.

"They're not a massive club so I don't think it will affect me coming here.
"It’d be part of Swansea history as they've never had a current England i

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.
