Supporters of Crystal Palace are experiencing a division of opinion regarding the impending transfer of Jeffrey Schlupp to Celtic.

On transfer deadline day, Celtic is poised to finalize an agreement for Schlupp, who is set to officially sign from Crystal Palace.

Prior to the commencement of the day, the Celtic supporters anticipated the arrival of several notable individuals, as Brendan Rodgers’ squad had experienced a decline in strength.

This development occurred subsequent to Kyogo Furuhashi’s departure to Rennes and the premature termination of Alex Valle’s loan, necessitated by Kieran Tierney’s return to his childhood club. The challenge associated with this situation is that Tierney will not be available for acquisition until the summer, coinciding with the expiration of his contract with Arsenal.

Consequently, this has resulted in Rodgers being inadequately equipped in the left-back position. Greg Taylor serves as the primary left-back; however, he now faces competition for playing time.It is evident that the acquisition of Schlupp represents a temporary solution, as he is intended to provide coverage prior to the arrival of Tierney.

Fabrizio Romano has communicated via social media that the arrangement constitutes a ‘straight loan’ for the player, and there is ‘no purchase option’ included in the agreement. It is likely incumbent upon Schlupp to demonstrate his value and secure a permanent contract if he aspires to continue playing for Celtic beyond the current season.

Crystal Palace supporters respond as Schlupp approaches a transfer to Celtic. Schlupp became a member of Crystal Palace in 2017 and has since made a total of 247 appearances for the London club, following his triumph in securing the Premier League title with Leicester City the preceding year.

This accomplishment will eternally be regarded as his most significant achievement, given the formidable challenges faced by both the player and his Leicester team at that time.

Certain supporters of Crystal Palace express astonishment at the prospect of Schlupp transitioning from a position of limited playing time with their team to potentially competing against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

However, others sought to demonstrate their respect for the player, acknowledging that, on his best days, he has consistently proved to be an exceptional asset to the club. ‘Jeffrey Schlupp in his pomp for us was different gravy,’ Authored by @Luke_Seychell.
