Celtic has reportedly made a loan offer for Crystal Palace’s Jeffrey Schlupp, sparking rumors of an imminent agreement between the two clubs. Sky Sports reveals that negotiations are well underway as the Hoops aim to strengthen their squad in the final days of the transfer window.
Schlupp, who has showcased his versatility in 16 appearances for Palace this season, is capable of playing in various positions, including left-back, midfield, and even as a forward. His experience and adaptability make him a valuable asset for Celtic, especially as they look to fill the void left by Kyogo’s departure to Rennes and Valle’s loan being cut short.
With Celtic competing on multiple fronts, including a crucial Champions League knockout tie against Bayern Munich, Schlupp’s arrival could provide the much-needed squad depth to navigate a hectic schedule. Serving as backup for the left-back position, Schlupp’s ability to operate across different roles could be crucial for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Although the deal is not yet finalized, all signs point to Celtic making a concerted effort to secure Schlupp’s services before the transfer window slams shut. Fans are eagerly anticipating a potential deadline-day addition that could have a significant impact on the team’s season and aspirations for success.
