Ghana striker Jeff Schlupp has signed a new deal for English championship side Leicester City which will expire in June 2015.
The German-born is highly rated at the King Power Stadium and impressed during a loan spell at League One side Brentford towards the end of last season.
Schlupp scored a hat-trick on his Leicester debut against Rotterdam United in the Carling Cup back in August.
The 19-year-old has made 17 appearances for the club scoring five goals.
Manager Nigel Pearson told the club�s official website: �Jeff is a promising young player with a lot of potential.
�We are looking forward to working with him over the next three years and I am sure he will continue to progress as a Leicester City player.
�At just 19, he remains a player with a lot to learn in the game.
�But he has already shown a lot of quality and scope to improve.�
Schlupp earned a shock debut Ghana call-up in November last year against Gabon in a friendly and was a second half substitute in the 2-1 win.
