‘Something is going to happen’ – Celtic ace provides an update on his future at the club – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
Apparently, the 23-year-old defender is looking to join one of the clubs from the top-five leagues and the player has now confirmed his desire to leave Parkhead.
He said (via The Athletic): “With one year left of my contract, that would be the best solution for me and my club. Something is going to happen this summer. It’s a top-five league I aim for.”
The centre back has one year left on his contract with the Scottish giants and he has been linked with the likes of Newcastle United and Leicester City in recent months.
It will be interesting to see if he can secure a move to the Premier League in the coming weeks.
His contract situation means that he could be signed for a reasonable fee and he has the potential to develop into a quality Premier League player.
Celtic were quite vulnerable at the back this past season and losing Ajer means that they will have to strengthen considerably during the summer transfer window.
It remains to be seen whether they can sort out their managerial situation quickly now.
Australian manager Ange Postecoglou has been linked with a move to Celtic and the deal is thought to be close to completion.
Ajer is not the only Celtic player Postecoglou could lose the summer and the likes of Odsonne Edouard have been linked with a move away from the Scottish giants as well.
