The champions turned down an opening offer of £9million for the 23-year-old, but the Baggies are in desperate need of a left-back.

West Bromwich Albion are set to make an improved offer for Leicester City winger Jeff Schlupp.

Schlupp is a versatile left-sided player who can play at full-back or on the wing and head coach Tony Pulis is an admirer of his power and pace on the flank.

He lost his place at left-back last season to Christian Fuchs, but played the second half of the season in midfield.

Ghana international Schlupp has three years left on his current deal at the King Power earning a reported £40,000 per week and if the move is complete he can expect to feature prominently for the Baggies next term.
