Leicester City's Jeffrey Schlupp has been told he can leave the Premier League champions if he wants to by Claudio Ranieri amid interest from West Bromwich Albion, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.
West Brom have tabled an improved offer for Schlupp after seeing their initial bid for the Ghana international rejected last month.
Schlupp has held talks with Leicester boss Ranieri about his future and the Italian has told him he can depart the King Power Stadium if they receive the right offer for him.
The versatile player made 24 league appearances for Leicester last season as they won the title, but Ranieri has been unable to guarantee him that he will be playing regular first-team football this season.
West Brom are growing in confidence that they can land Schlupp after Ranieri gave the green light for a move and talks are ongoing between both clubs as they look to try and thrash out a deal for the 23-year-old.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis is keen to bolster his squad having so far only brought in Matt Phillips from Queens Park Rangers and the club hope the offer of a regular role at The Hawthorns will help persuade Schlupp to make the move to West Brom.
Meanwhile at Leicester, defender Liam Moore is ready to see out his contract at the King Power Stadium after turning down new deal, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.
