Jeffery Schlupp extends contract with Crystal Palace

Ghana’s international, Jeffery Schlupp, is looking forward to the new season with pride after extending his contract with Crystal Palace.

Schlupp had one year left on his contract with the English club but his performance in last season’s campaign impressed the team to offer him a new deal.

Confirming his new deal with Palace, the Ghanaian international admitted it was a difficult season for him last year following series of injuries.

“Last season was a difficult one at times due to injuries,” Sclupp told the club’s website. “However, I’m delighted to have finished it off with a goal against Spurs, feeling 100% and extending my time with the club.

“I’m already looking forward to hitting the ground running in a few weeks’ time when the season restarts,” he added.

Schlupp has made 97 appearances for Palace since joining the club in January 2017.

He joined the team from fellow Premier League side Leicester City where he won the English Premier League.

Schlupp could return to play for the Black Stars when the team meets to play in the 2021 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers in November.
