Man Utd rocked as Arsene Wenger prepares £10m Arsenal bid for Leicester star
ARSENAL are lining up a January swoop for Leicester's Jeffrey Schlupp.
Arsenal want Leicester winger Jeffrey Schlupp
That is according to Ghana Soccernet, who claim Arsene Wenger is prepared to spend £10million to land the versatile winger.
The Gunners - as well as Manchester United - were reportedly keen on signing the Ghana international in the off season before he put pen to paper on a new four-year deal in June.
Wenger is again likely to fail in his pursuit of the 22-year-old, with Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri insisting he has no desire to sell his key players in the winter window.
United are also expected to make a move for Schlupp as Louis van Gaal looks to replace injured left-back Luke Shaw.

Ranieri said: “We don't sell him (Jamie Vardy), he is very happy here. It is too early to speak about it.
“He stays with us – nobody goes in January. Not Riyad Mahrez, not Jeffrey Schlupp, nobody. We want to achieve our goals as soon as possible. We need all our best players.”
