A return on the cards for Jeffrey Schlupp?

What went wrong for the recipient of Leicester City’s Academy Player of the Year: 2010–11, Young Player of the Year: 2014–15, 2015–16, and Players’ Player of the Year: 2014–15?
To decode that, we need to understand his career move to Crystal Palace after the title-winning season.

Jeffrey Schlupp has struggled to penetrate the defensive lines of the oppositions regularly. To a casual fan, he could seem like a player who has lost his mojo. But for those who have studied his game, his potential is undeniable and is still waiting to be unleashed. Jeff was one of the top prospects of LCFC, but to achieve long-term sustainability the club was forced to sell players soon after winning the League.

"Schlupp is known for his extreme pace and athleticism, which allows him to be a versatile option and ability to play anywhere on the left-wing. Former teammate Andrej Kramarić once said of Schlupp, “I’ve never played with a more powerful player than Jeffrey Schlupp, such power and speed like I’ve never seen before.”- H/T Wikipedia."

Nobody can deny the adversities a player faces when he joins a new club. Several reasons could impact one’s game. It’s too early to write a player like Schlupp off. He is yet to make the most out of his talent. His contract with Crystal Palace is up. He is a considerable option for any club in the league.
