Leicester signing Fuchs could open the door for Schlupp's Arsenal move

Leicester City’s recent signing Christian Fuchs could lead to renewed interested from Arsenal in 22-year-old Foxes star Jeffrey Schlupp.

For much of this past campaign, Pearson has had both Schlupp and Paul Knochesky to call on, but with the former Charlton and Liverpool fullback out of contract this summer, it is natural that the Foxes boss was eager to reinforce that area of the pitch.
Free transfer signing Fuchs will expect to be a prominent first-team player at the King Power Stadium considering he is Austrian captain, but left back is a role under some development under Nigel Pearson, who dabbled with switching to a wingback system with huge success in the last few weeks of the season.
Schlupp finished the season as first-choice on the left hand side, and impressed with his work rate and attacking contribution, scoring four times and assisting four more in 35 games.
