Ghana utility player Jeffrey Schlupp could finally leave Leicester City if they manage to sign Polish youngster Bartosz Kapustka.

The Foxes have slapped in a bid to sign the Cracovia winger for £5.25m which could pave the way for Schlupp to join West Brom.

The Baggies had their first offer of £9m rejected for the player who has been used as a winger by the English champions.

Albion are preparing a new offer of £10m to help force the move which seems has resulted in the decision of Leicester to go for Kapustka.

Schlupp is reluctant to leave Leicester City because of their upcoming participation in the UEFA Champions League.

However West Brom believe that they can force the move if they table the right price for the Ghana international with another carrot of doubling his wages.

The Ghana international also believes that he can win back his starting place with the Foxes after losing the left-back position to Christian Fuchs after suffering an ankle injury which kept him out of action for some months.

On his return from the injury problem he was used on the left-wing but he thinks he can regain his position or force his way into the team in another position.

Schlupp still has three years left on his Leicester City contract.
