He was at his very best again at Wembley on Wednesday, supplying a remarkable four key passes in the match, along with 13 successful long balls.
The 26 year-old also gave the hosts a fright when he struck the woodwork with a wonderful free kick, and helped his side out defensively with two tackles and two interceptions.
With Mousa Dembele looking likely to leave Tottenham and Eric Dier not at his best this season, some Spurs fans are hoping they swoop for Shelvey this summer, while others are just praying he’s in the World Cup squad.
