Parkinson - Shelvey worth £8m
Charlton boss Phil Parkinson has placed an £8million price tag on the head of highly-rated teenager Jonjo Shelvey.
Premier League trio Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham have all been linked with possible moves for the 17-year-old midfielder.
Parkinson has no plans to part with his prized asset and believes Shelvey is worth more than Fabian Delph, who cost Aston Villa £8million when they lured him away from Leeds last week.
The Addicks boss claims he has had no contact from the Blues over Shelvey, while he feels the Hammers would be hard pushed to find the funds to make a realistic bid.
Parkinson told reporters: "We want him to help us get promotion, because he will do.
"I've seen a lot of Delph and I would put Jonjo ahead of him. Delph went for £8million and Jonjo, in my eyes, is a better player.
"Chelsea were mentioned but I haven't had a call from Roman Abramovich. And West Ham couldn't afford him."
