It Sounds Like a Joke: Jonjo Shelvey Calls Sancho and Sterling to Dubai

Record8 September 2026 at 22:45

Jonjo Shelvey, a former English footballer, took charge of a modest club in the United Arab Emirates. The transfer to Dubai marks a new phase in the career of the midfielder, who played for clubs such as Newcastle United, Swansea City and Nottingham Forest.

According to the news, Shelvey is said to have called or invited well-known players such as Sancho and Sterling to join the project in the emirate. These names suggest they are Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling, both English internationals with experience at major European clubs.

The choice of Dubai as a destination represents a growing trend of former footballers seeking coaching opportunities in the Middle East, where clubs are increasingly investing to raise their profile in world football.

The article presents the situation as something that sounds like a joke, suggesting that Shelvey's decision to call English football stars to a modest club in the Emirates may seem surprising or even humorous at first glance.
