West Brom make bid for Leicester City's Jeffrey Schlupp - sources

West Bromwich Albion have made a bid for Leicester City ace Jeffrey Schlupp, sources have told ESPN FC.

Schlupp was one of Leicester's unsung heroes during their fairy-tale Premier League title success.

The Ghana international came back into the starting lineup in the final few games of the season and he impressed for Claudio Ranieri's men.

However, Schlupp found first-team chances limited for the majority of last season with Christian Fuchs establishing himself as first choice at left-back.

West Brom are now hoping to lure Schlupp away from the King Power Stadium with Tony Pulis a big admirer of the 23-year-old.

Schlupp, who can play at left-back or in midfield, would be a versatile addition for Pulis' squad.

It remains to be seen if Leicester will consider selling Schlupp as they prepare for the defence of their Premier League crown and the extra demands of the Champions League.
