Crystal Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp has become a transfer target for Championship sides Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers as they look to bolster their squads in the January window.

The 32-year-old Ghanaian international is in the final months of his contract, which is set to expire this summer, fueling speculation about a potential move. Schlupp’s versatility, capable of playing as a wing-back or central midfielder, makes him a valuable asset for any team.

Despite the interest, Palace manager Oliver Glasner is keen to retain the experienced player, citing his importance to the squad. “I want to keep the squad together – we don’t have a huge amount of outfield players,” Glasner said. However, he acknowledged that Schlupp’s future ultimately depends on the player’s desire for a longer-term deal elsewhere.

Schlupp showcased his quality in Palace’s recent FA Cup victory over Stockport County, making a notable impact off the bench. Since joining the club in 2017, he has made 245 appearances, scoring 19 goals and proving himself a reliable presence for the Eagles.

As the January transfer window unfolds, Schlupp’s next move remains uncertain, with QPR and Blackburn closely monitoring the situation. Palace fans will hope the club can secure the Ghanaian’s services for the remainder of the season and beyond.
