The 25-year-old left-back played just in front of defender Patrick Van Aanholt and not the midfield position Schlupp which seems to be favorable for the Ghanaian international

“I have always said I would play anywhere that I am needed to and the manager has used me in midfield and I am really comfortable there.

"Whenever Wilfred Zaha,myself and Patrick Van Aanholt , just behind me, have played together the link up play has been good, we work at it in training and if that happens to be the left side going into the first games of the new season we are more than ready."

Schlupp scored the opening goals in the friendly against Oxford United.
