Crystal Palace have been told to pay £12million for Jeff Schlupp by Leicester City, according to reports.

The Eagles have seen a £7m offer rejected by the Foxes, who insist they will take no less than £10m and possibly a higher fee for the Ghanaian wing-back.

Schlupp is a strong target for Sam Allardyce this month but Leicester are playing hardball despite the fact he has featured on only four occasions in the Premier League this term.

Palace are intent on signing a left-sided winger this winter and are eager to lure Schlupp to Selhurst Park, but Claudio Ranieri will not let him leave the King Power Stadium on the cheap.
