Published on: 02 March 2012

Ghana striker Jeff Schlupp has signed a new deal for English championship side Leicester City which will expire in June 2015. 

The German-born is highly rated at the King Power Stadium and impressed during a loan spell at League One side Brentford towards the end of last season.

Schlupp scored a hat-trick on his Leicester debut against Rotterdam United in the Carling Cup back in August.

The 19-year-old has made 17 appearances for the club scoring five goals.

Manager Nigel Pearson told the club's official website: "Jeff is a promising young player with a lot of potential.

"We are looking forward to working with him over the next three years and I am sure he will continue to progress as a Leicester City player.

"At just 19, he remains a player with a lot to learn in the game.

"But he has already shown a lot of quality and scope to improve."

Schlupp earned a shock debut Ghana call-up in November last year against Gabon in a friendly and was a second half substitute in the 2-1 win.
