Jeffrey Schlupp signs new deal with Crystal Palace

Jeffrey Schlupp has signed a contract extension with Crystal Palace, the Premier League club confirmed on Friday.

The Ghanaian international was set to be out of contract in June next year, but has put pen to paper on a new deal ahead of the new season, which starts on September 12.

“Last season was a difficult one at times due to injuries,” Schlupp told the club’s website.

He added; “However, I’m delighted to have finished it off with a goal against Spurs, feeling 100% and extending my time with the club. I’m already looking forward to hitting the ground running in a few weeks’ time when the season restarts.”

Jeffrey Schlupp, James McArthur, Martin Kelly and Stephen Henderson will all now be remaining at Selhurst Park.

The four players were all set to be out of contract in June next year, along with a host of other first-team players – including Christian Benteke.
