Liverpool Confirm Midfield Starlet's Loan Switch

Liverpool have confirmed that young midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has joined Blackpool on loan until December 31, 2011.

Shelvey was signed by the Reds from Charlton in May 2010 but has thus far struggled to make an impression in the first team with a host of central midfielders all vying for a starting berth.

The 19-year-old knows that he needs to gain some first team experience with the likes of Steven Gerrard, Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and Jay Spearing all battling for a place in central midfield.

The England youth player has made 22 appearances for the Reds since moving to the club and is considered one of the best young talents at the club.

Blackpool currently find themselves in 10th place in the Championship after nine games and will be hoping to finish the season in the play-off places as they look to return to the Premier League..
