Jeffrey Schlupp, a man who first saw the light of day in Germany on 23 December 1992, now, at the ripe age of 32, dons the number 15 jersey for Celtic in Scotland as a robust defender, with a preference for the left back position. Schlupp, a finely built footballer of 1.78m (5ft 10in) and 72kg (11st 4lb), appears to be a perfect fit for the physically demanding Scottish Premier League.
Our German-born Celtic soldier is currently valued at around £4m according to Transfermarkt. As for his contract with Celtic, only a mere two months remain with the document set for expiry on 31 May 2025.
Schlupp, initially, found himself at Leicester City in England's Premier League in July 2010. His journey in that famous blue kit was marked by repeated first team appearances, a gradually increasing number of goals and a brief loan spell at Brentford during the season of 2010-2011, during which he scored five goals in nine league matches.
From January 2017 to February 2025, the defender wore the colours of Crystal Palace in England, for a sizable transfer fee of approximately £12m, where he spent multiple seasons, bagging a fair handful of goals until his eventual move to Celtic.
Currently, in the season 2024 - 2025, he is seen wearing the green and white of Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland. Already he has made nine first team appearances and managed to put the ball into the back of the net once. Schlupp's participation in the Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Celtic and the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 showcases his well-rounded abilities, an asset to the club in the pursuit of silverware.
