Leicester City star has been a target of Manchester United’s previously
Arsenal are weighing up a potential bid for Leicester City star Jeffrey Schlupp, according to reports.
It’s reported that the Gunners are prepared to part-ways with around £10million in order to sign the Foxes star, who has been impressive during their incredible start to the Premier League campaign.
Schlupp has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United, with Louis van Gaal interested in landing him, but according to the latest reports, it could be Arsene Wenger who signs the versatile star.
Interest in Schlupp
In recent years, Schlupp has played as a striker, a left-wing and also a left-back, and it’s believed that Wenger is a fan of his versatility and believes he could provide options for his injury-hit squad.
The Gunners currently have 10 first-team players sidelined and Wenger is keen on strengthening in January as he looks to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2004.
Despite the interest from bigger clubs, Schlupp is seemingly happy at The King Power Stadium, and recently signed a new four-year deal at the club, but that hasn’t put the two clubs off the 22-year-old.
