Crystal Palace have seemingly won the race to sign Jeffrey Schlupp from Leicester City after agreeing a £12 million deal for the defender.
The Ghanian made it clear to Claudio Ranieri that he wanted to leave and reports on Thursday afternoon suggested the move was close.
The defender will leave the defending Premier League champions to join Palace as Sam Allardyce begins to make the changes he sees fit in order to turn the club’s fortunes around.
Palace currently sit 17th in the Premier League, just one point away from the relegation zone. With the deal close, the defender could make his Palace debut on Saturday when the club travels to the London Stadium.
The 24-year-old looks set to become the former England manager’s first signing since arriving at Selhurst Park.
As Schlupp begins a new spell of his career, we look back at his journey and reveal some facts that you may not have known about.
