Report: Leicester City preparing new deal for Jeffrey Schlupp

Leicester City are reportedly holding talks with Jeffrey Schlupp over a new contract.

The 22-year-old earned praise for his performances as he helped the Foxes to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Schlupp, who can play as a left-back or striker, has reportedly attracted attention from Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is thought to be determined to keep hold of the Ghana international and sees him as a big part of his side's future, according to the Daily Star.

Schlupp signed a three-year contract at the King Power Stadium last summer.
