Jeffrey Schlupp departs from Crystal Palace after eight-and-a-half-year stint
"It's been an incredible eight years playing for this club. I've met some great people – the Chairman, the gaffer, and all the staff I've met over the years – and it's meant a lot to have played for Crystal Palace. A big 'thank you' to this group, who have achieved something so special.
"You ask anybody about the Palace fans, and they know about the atmosphere that they create, and the number of times they've pulled us through in difficult times. They've been our 12th man, so thank you to all the fans who have always supported me. Hopefully, I've done you proud. I'll definitely see you again soon," said Schlupp.
A product of the Leicester City academy, Schlupp made his senior debut in 2011 following a brief loan to Brentford in League One. He went on to make 150 appearances for the club, winning the EFL Championship in 2013–14 and was a part of the historic Foxes side that lifted the Premier League in 2015–16.
Schlupp's ability to fit in various different roles, offering important squad flexibility to the side, made him a regular pick in numerous Palace squads.
During his stay in South London, Schlupp scored 19 times while also providing 17 assists.
In August 2023, Schlupp made his 200th appearance for the club. With 220 Premier League appearances for Palace to his name, he has made the fourth-highest number of appearances for the team in the competition. He departs from Palace with an FA Cup winner's medal to add to his collection, having featured in the third-round win over Stockport County.
After 16 appearances for Palace this season, Schlupp has spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Celtic, where he went on to win the Scottish Premiership title.
"Across nine separate seasons with Crystal Palace, Jeffrey has made many an important contribution to the Football Club – and scored some incredible goals!
'Whatever has been asked of him – whatever the role, whenever the time–he has given his utmost to, and it speaks volumes that he has made such a great impression in different systems and under different managers.
'Successful squads are built on players of Jeffrey's calibre and character, and we have much to thank him for as he moves on from SE25. He leaves with our heartfelt gratitude and the very best wishes of everyone at Crystal Palace," added Chairman Steve Parish.

Wirtz to Mbeumo: Top 10 biggest football transfers in summer 2025
A well-executed summer transfer window can dramatically reshape a club's fortunes. Whether it's elite clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool or efficient operators like Brighton and Bournemouth, smart recruitment remains key. With title hopes and relegation battles on the line, let's look at the top 10 most talked-about signings of the 2025 summer window so far. Florian Wirtz – Liverpool's record-breaking move Liverpool made headlines by smashing the British transfer record to sign German playmaker Florian Wirtz for 116 million pounds, a clear response to the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. Known for his creativity and flair, Wirtz brings a new level of dynamism to Anfield. This blockbuster move is expected to define Liverpool's attacking identity for years to come. Jeremie Frimpong – Another boost for the Reds Martín Zubimendi – Arsenal's midfield enforcer Arsenal have once again tried to bridge the gap to the top by investing heavily in midfield. Martín Zubimendi, a consistent performer at Real Sociedad, has joined the Gunners for a fee close to £60 million. With their Premier League title drought still ongoing, Mikel Arteta hopes Zubimendi's tactical intelligence and work rate will solidify the spine of his team. Matheus Cunha – Manchester United's attacking bet United's transfer business has been under the spotlight for seasons, but they may have finally struck gold with Matheus Cunha. Signed for £62.5 million, the Brazilian forward brings flair, versatility, and goal-scoring instincts. After struggling in the attacking third in recent seasons, United hope Cunha can reignite their frontline and help them compete with the league's elite. Bryan Mbeumo – A game-changer for the Red Devils Following a lengthy transfer saga, Bryan Mbeumo is poised to become Manchester United's third signing of the summer. The 25-year-old winger is moving from Brentford in a deal worth £70 million, including add-ons. Mbeumo's impressive 2024-25 campaign, where he netted 20 goals and assisted 7 more, highlights his impact. His arrival could significantly boost United's goal-scoring woes. Kevin De Bruyne – Napoli pull off a good signing In one of the more surprising moves of the window, Kevin De Bruyne has traded Manchester City for Napoli. Despite interest from multiple top-tier European sides, the Serie A champions secured the Belgian maestro's signature. His experience and creativity could prove pivotal as Napoli aim to defend their domestic crown and push for European success. Jobe Bellingham – Following brother's footsteps With big shoes to fill, Jobe Bellingham is stepping into the spotlight at Borussia Dortmund, following in the footsteps of his older brother, Jude. The former Sunderland starlet joins for just under £30 million, buoyed by Dortmund's recent sale of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. If Jobe can mirror even part of Jude's meteoric rise, Dortmund fans are in for a treat. Tijjani Reijnders – Manchester City's midfield reinforcement As City look to bounce back after trailing Liverpool and Arsenal, they've turned to Tijjani Reijnders for midfield support. The Dutch international is expected to relieve the pressure on Rodri, who was missed dearly in key matches last season. Guardiola sees Reijnders as a vital piece in reestablishing City's midfield dominance. Charalampos Kostoulas – Brighton's next hidden gem Brighton's scouting network has unearthed another promising talent in Charalampos Kostoulas, an 18-year-old from Olympiacos. Though relatively unknown, the club's £30 million investment signals their confidence in his potential. If history is any indication, Brighton could have another star-in-the-making on their hands. João Pedro – Chelsea bet big on Brazilian talent Chelsea's relentless pursuit of young stars continues with the £60 million acquisition of João Pedro from Brighton. The Brazilian forward, who impressed at both Watford and Brighton, now faces the challenge of leading Chelsea's charge back into title contention. If Pedro adapts quickly, he could be the difference-maker in breaking into the Premier League's top three.

Brentford agree £70mn deal for winger Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United
Manchester United have secured approval from Brentford for a £70 million (including add-ons) transfer bid to sign winger Bryan Mbeumo. The Cameroon international is expected to undergo a medical examination before joining United's squad ahead of their pre-season tour in the United States, scheduled to begin Tuesday. The signing comes after United faced a lot of heat in terms of not able to get in players quickly as compared to their Premier League rivals who have been a lot more active than the 20-time champions in the summer transfer window. United's third signing this summer The 25-year-old attacker is set to become Manchester United's third acquisition this summer, following the arrivals of forward Matheus Cunha and left-back Diego Leon. Earlier bids of £55 million in early June and £62.5 million later in the month were rejected, but Brentford have agreed to the latest offer which includes potential add-ons raising the fee to £70 million. Mbeumo's peak performance in the Premier League Last season, Mbeumo delivered career-best statistics across nearly all attacking categories in the Premier League, including goals, assists, chances created, and touches inside the opposition's penalty area. His shot conversion rate stood at an impressive 23.53%, with only Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and Alexander Isak of Newcastle United surpassing him in clinical finishing. Beyond his attacking prowess, Mbeumo was also effective defensively, winning possession 32 times in the final third, ranking him third among all Premier League players. Additionally, his ability to carry the ball forward proved unmatched, as he completed nine runs over five metres that directly led to goals, the highest tally in the league during the 2024-25 season.
