Jeffrey "Jeff" Schlupp (born 23 December 1992) is a professional footballer who plays for English club Leicester City and the Ghana national team as a left back. He started his career as a striker.

Early life

Jeff Schlupp was born in Hamburg, Germany to Ghanaian parents. Schlupp and his family later moved to England when he was young.[2] Schlupp attended Oakgrove School in Milton Keynes along with Oxford United player Max Crocombe.[3][4]

Club career

Leicester City

A product of the Leicester City youth academy, Schlupp was given a squad number, 31, for the first time for the 2010–11 season along with fellow academy players Tom Parkes and Jorrin John by then manager Paulo Sousa.[5] Schlupp signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2013 on 14 March 2011.[6] Schlupp was named amongst the Leicester City substitutes for the first time by, then manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson in the 3–2 home defeat to Norwich City on 8 March 2011.

Loan to Brentford

Schlupp joined Brentford on a one-month loan on 14 March 2011, declining a call up to the Germany Under-19 squad in order to complete the move.[6] He made his senior debut in a 1–0 defeat to Huddersfield Town coming on as a substitute on 77 minutes on 15 March 2011.[7] On his first full senior appearance in his career he scored two goals winning the match against Carlisle United 2–1 on 25 March 2011.[8] Schlupp earned a start in Brentford's next match and proved himself once more by scoring a header from a Lewis Grabban cross against Sheffield Wednesday in a 3–1 victory.[9]

On 3 April Schlupp started in the 2011 Football League Trophy Final, playing the full 90 minutes. Schlupp hit the post with an effort on goal. Carlisle United won the match 1–0.[10]

On 14 April the loan deal was extended to the end of the 2010–11 season.[11]

Return to Leicester City

2011–12 season

On returning to Leicester, Schlupp travelled with the squad on their tour to Sweden often playing in friendlies as a left-back. He was given the squad number 27 for the 2011–12 season.[2] In his first competitive senior appearance for the club he scored a hat-trick against Rotherham United in the League Cup first round on 9 August,.[12][13] He made his league debut in a 2–0 defeat to Reading on 13 August,[14] and scored his first league goal in a 4–0 win over Derby County on 1 October.[15] Schlupp scored his second league goal, and Leicester City's 4,000th home league goal, against Birmingham City in the 80th minute of 13 March 2012 Championship clash. Schlupp ended his first season in the Leicester first team, scoring six times in 26 games in all competitions.

2012–13 season

Schlupp spent a week in January 2013 training with Manchester United.[16] This trial was extended into a second and third week into the beginning of February.[17] During his time at Manchester United he played two under-21 games, a game against Liverpool and then a game against West Ham at Upton Park.

Upon Schlupp's return to Leicester he found his way into the Leicester team both at left back and in attack, scoring three goals towards the latter part of the 2012–13 season. Schlupp scored key goals in back to back home games against Birmingham City and Bolton Wanderers.

2013–14 season

Schlupp opened his goalscoring account for the 2013–14 season, rounding off a 3–1 away win to against Millwall on New Year's Day 2014 with smart finish through the goalkeeper's legs on his weaker foot. Following regular Left Back Paul Konchesky receiving a three-match suspension for a red card against East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest, Schlupp has found greater opportunities at the back of the Leicester side, putting in highly rated performances against Ipswich Town and Charlton Athletic.

2014-15 season

In August 16 2014 Schlupp made his premier league debut against Everton.

International career

Germany

Schlupp was called up to a Germany under-19 training camp in early 2011, but did not earn a cap in Ralf Minge's side.[18][19]

Ghana

On 7 November 2011 Schlupp was called up to the Ghana squad to face Sierra Leone and Gabon.[20] Schlupp made his Ghana debut against Gabon on 15 November, coming on as a late substitute for Prince Tagoe.[21] In April 2014, it was reported that The Black Star's coaching team are believed to have watched Schlupp play with a view to taking him to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil following a string of impressive performances for Leicester. Schlupp played in a friendly against Netherlands on 31 May but wasn't named in Ghana's final 23.
