Jeffrey Schlupp

Celtic are trying to beat the deadline to sign versatile Crystal Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp, sources have told Football Insider.

The 32-year-old is nearing the end of his contract at Selhurst Park, with just six months remaining. Having served the club for eight years, Palace are open to selling him if they receive an acceptable offer

Schlupp had previously attracted interest from Championship sides Coventry and Stoke, but Brendan Rodgers’ team is now keen to secure his signature before the transfer deadline.

Schlupp has made 16 appearances for Palace this season, but has yet to start a match under manager Oliver Glasner


The versatile midfielder, who joined Palace from Leicester in 2017, has made 247 appearances for the club. However, his playing time this season has been limited to just 94 minutes, making it difficult for him to make an impact.

Over the years, he has been used in various roles, including left-midfield, central midfield, and left-back, and his adaptability could be appealing to Celtic.


Football Insider reported that the Glasgow club are optimistic about securing two signings before the deadline, with Schlupp being one of their targets.

After bringing Jota back to the club this month, Celtic are still looking to strengthen their squad. While former captain Kieran Tierney is expected to remain at Arsenal until the summer and join on a pre-contract deal, Schlupp could serve as an option to cover in that position

Despite signing a contract extension last year, Schlupp’s long-term future at Palace now seems uncertain, with a potential move to Celtic on the cards if both clubs can agree on a fee before the deadline

 

I think he’ll do a job tbh. It’s no his fault we’re all scunnered with the club for other activity (or lack of).

 

Think this is a decent signing has power and is versatile for 6 months then maybe pick him up in the summer can play a few positions. We’re weak as * he at least changes that and upgrade on Taylor

 

Don't mate!!

Today has been disappointing enough

 

Looks a sensible signing. He can play left back, left wing, and midfield. He has a good bit of physicality about him too, which is very useful, only 32, so if he turns out good, we could maybe buy him.
Were we not linked with Schlupp before, because the name rings a bell.?

 

I think in the summer mate

 

It’s cover. That’s about it.

 

Not sure why folk are bashing this, good level of cover for us especially this late in the window.

 

Because he's 32 and that's old according to some people

 

He ticks a lot of boxes, people go on and on about a bit of steel in the middle that we probably need for around 10 games a season. This guy, if successful over next 6 months, would provide good cover for lb and cdm

Aaron Mooy was 32 and was a cracking signing

 

Over 400 epl appearances plenty of experience has physicality which we need and can cover a few positions think it’s a decent loan signing

 

It's possible they are thinking of a double pivot with Schlupp and McGregor against Bayern.

 

Youse'll love him, I'm sure of it.

So sure that I've already ordered a lorryload of Jeffrey Schlupp tea towels. £12.99 a pop

 

Here comes the hot-stepper,
JEFFREY SCHLUPP!
He’s a left-sided gangsta.
JEFFREY SCHLUPP!
And Brendan thinks he’s the answer -
JEFFREY SCHLUPP! -
To come and play at left-back.
JEFFREY SCHLUPP!

Nah, na-na-na-nah.
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na,
Na-na-na-nahhh.
Nah, na-na-na-nah
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-nahhh.

 

It isn't just that..

It's the fact it's unimaginative, pretty desperate and we've signed no * else bar Jota with hours to go..

 

Mate he's a brilliant option

As fans we moan about wanting guys with experience then when they come in some have genuine hissy fits

 

Hope this falls through
