Leicester City fought off a move from West Brom for Jeffrey Schlupp but it looks like the player is keen on seeing the move realized in January.

According to reports from the Leicester Mercury, Leicester City are anticipating a return bid for Jeffrey Schlupp in the winter transfer window and the out of favor left flank attacker is believed to be ready to see a change of scenery in his career.

This summer it is believed that Tony Pulis and West Brom offered as much as £12 million, but a meeting with manager Claudio Ranieri resulted in him being told that he would be staying with the Champions.

However, the young winger is now once again pushing for a move in January as another half of a season is rushing by without him having much of a chance to make a difference in the first team.

Pulis is still believed to be wanting to strengthen his side on the left flank with Schlupp being a potential positive addition to the side as he could play both on the left wing and as a left back as needed.

Currently at Leicester Schlupp is in the pecking order behind Christian Fuchs and youngster Ben Chilwell and is also deep in the left midfield role behind Marc Albrighton, Ahmed Musa, Demarai Gray and Bartosz Kapuskta, despite the youngster having rarely even featured either.

Schlupp at the age of 23-years-old now has to be able to either make a change to make his career grow, or he could be held back from having one at all if he does not go somewhere that wants him to be a part of their future plans as he clearly is not in the cards for Leicester City and Claudio Ranieri.
