Jeffrey Schlupp: Crystal Palace sign Leicester winger for undisclosed fee

By Daily Sports on January 14, 2017

Sam Allardyce has made Leicester City winger Jeffrey Schlupp his first signing as Crystal Palace manager.

The 24-year-old moves south for a reported £12m, and has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract.

The Ghana international made 24 Premier League appearances in 2015-16 as the Foxes won their first title.

But he has started only one league game this season and has not featured at all since the 5-0

Schlupp was left out of Ghana's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

He began his career at Leicester - making 150 appearances for the club, scoring 15 goals - and had a loan spell at Brentford during 2010-11.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis had been interested in Schlupp, who joins a Palace side 17th in the Premier League.

The Eagles, one point above the relegation zone, visit West Ham on Saturday, a game Schlupp is available for.

Allardyce said: "He will bring strength and experience to the defence and will be a major asset for the club."

Sunderland manager David Moyes had earlier confirmed the club had rejected a bid from Palace for Netherlands defender Patrick van Aanholt. (bbc.co.uk
