The Milton Keynes-raised football star Jeffrey Schlupp has signed for a new club after joining Championship side Norwich City.

Schlupp left Crystal Palace at the end of last season, and the 32-year-old has now made a move to East Anglia. He has signed a one-year contract with Norwich.

The Ghanian international, who moved to Milton Keynes from Germany as a child and attended schools in the Bradville and Oakgrove areas of the city, is Norwich’s 12th new signing ahead of the upcoming season. The upcoming campaign will see the Canaries be managed by former MK Dons boss Liam Manning, who arrived from Bristol City in June, with one of Manning’s former Dons players in Harry Darling also making the move to Norfolk.

Schlupp broke through at Leicester City, having previously been in the Foxes’ academy. He made 150 appearances for the East Midlands club, including 24 league appearances in Leicester’s famed 2015/16 Premier League title-winning campaign and 3 appearances in the Champions League the following season.

He then moved to Crystal Palace in January 2017, where he made 220 Premier League appearances as the South London club have established themselves as Premier League regulars.

Schlupp played his last game for the Eagles in January, with the player spending the second half of last season on loan with Scottish side Celtic. He made 13 appearances for the Bhoys as they won the Scottish league title. In his career, he has also received 20 caps with the Ghana national team.

In an arrival interview with the official Norwich City website, Schlupp said he was excited for what was to come at Carrow Road.

He said, “I’m really excited, it’s something new again but a lot to look forward to back in the Championship at a big club.

“I’ve spoken to the head coach about the plan for this year and I am excited to be involved.

“I’m looking forward to meeting all the players and hopefully we can create something special this year.”
