Jeffrey Schlupp is in advanced talks with Crystal Palace over a £12million transfer after telling Claudio Ranieri he wants to leave Leicester.
Sam Allardyce appears poised to sign the 24-year-old having returned following a failed initial bid of £9m bid last week.
Schlupp offers Palace a solid option at left-back – a position that has required strengthening since Pape Souare’s car crash in September – and can also play on the wing.
The move would end Schlupp’s 12-year association with Leicester, the club he joined as boy, but he has wanted to leave since last summer after struggling for games.
