English champions Leicester City have turned down a £9m offer from West Bromwich Albion for versatile Ghana international Jeffrey Schlupp.

According to the Birmingham Mail, the Foxes have rejected the figure as interest in the defender cum striker grows.

The Ghanaian showed his versatility for Leicester last season, playing as a utility back-up option on their way to Premier League glory.

West Brom manager Tony Pulis is believed to be a long-term admirer of the talented Ghanaian and saw his offer rejected by the reigning English champions.

Schlupp is seen an integral part of Claudio Ranieri's team for next season and won't allow him to leave.

The former Manchester United trialist featured 24 times for Leicester last season.
