The versatile 32 year-old signed for the Scottish champions on transfer deadline day from English Premier League side Crystal Palace.

A key member of Leicester’s title winning team

Making his way through the ranks at Leicester City, the former Ghanaian internationalist notched up 150 appearances with the Foxes and was a key squad member in Claudio Ranieri’s infamous title winning 2015/2016 squad. Schlupp then moved to the Eagles in 2017 and featured almost 250 times for Palace in eight years. He has also made 20 appearances for his country.

Speaking in his first interview since joining the Hoops, Schlupp told Celtic TV he cannot wait to get started: “I’m super excited. It’s actually been one of my dreams, as much as many others, to play for such a great club like Celtic.”

‘The atmosphere, the fans and the stadium’

“So as soon as the opportunity came up, I was really excited about it. Everyone always speaks about the experience of playing at Celtic, the atmosphere, the fans and the stadium as you’re driving up to it. It’s one of those things that everyone always wants to do,” Jeffrey Schlupp said.

‘I’m comfortable playing anywhere’

The former English Premier League winner added: Throughout my career I think I’ve played everywhere apart from goalkeeper to be honest. But for the main part, I’ve been left-sided, whether that’s left-midfield, the left side of midfield three, I’ve played in a pivot before, and obviously I’ve had a lot of games played at left-back as well.”

“Anywhere along the left I’ve always found really comfortable. I’ve played many games at left-back and in a front three on the left-side and right-side. I’m comfortable playing anywhere, so just wherever the manager would like me to play I’ll do that and hopefully I can do a great job for the team.”
