Jeffrey Schlupp, born on 23 December 1992 (age 33), is a Ghanaian left-back whose senior career has been shaped far more by Crystal Palace than by any brief stop elsewhere.
His early development included a sharp loan spell at Brentford in 2010–11, when he scored five league goals in nine appearances. For a defender, even one with attacking use, that was a useful early marker rather than the whole story.
Palace became the main body of his career. Across nine seasons there, Schlupp made 220 league appearances and scored 18 league goals, operating primarily at left-back and giving the London club long service in a league that tends not to indulge passengers.
He joined Celtic from Crystal Palace in February 2025, bringing a substantial Premier League background rather than speculative promise. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Schlupp’s career is a straightforward one to read: an eye-catching early loan, a long Crystal Palace spell, and a later move to Celtic after years of top-flight experience.
