Ex-England and Premier League star has Turkey contract torn up after just FIVE months with veteran's career at a crossroads

A former Premier League and England star's latest venture in Turkish football lasted just five months as the top-flight side terminated the player's contract. Turkey - in similar fashion to Saudi Arabia - is becoming a second home to former Premier League icons, but one player's spell in the nation has been ended prematurely.

The midfielder now finds his career at a crossroads and could return to England with a number of club's able to make a potential offer to the surprise free agent. Having initially impressed in the Turkish Super Lig last season, the 32-year-old moved to Eyupspor - managed by former Barcelona winger Arda Turan - in the summer where it was hoped he would lead the club's survival fight.

However, the ex-Liverpool, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest star has now mutually agreed to leave the club after just five months as confirmed in a blunt statement. Jonjo Shelvey departed the Premier League in 2023 after his two-and-a-half-year contract at Forest was similarly cut short following just eight months amid a fallout with former boss Steve Cooper.
