Ange Postecoglou drops major Celtic transfer hint over potential Parkhead player departure

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has dropped a big hint that striker Albian Ajeti may be set to end his time in Glasgow after two seasons.

The Swiss striker arrived from English Premier League side West Ham United in 2020 under Neil Lennon but he hasn't hit the required level to become a consistent Celtic player. His contract doesn't expire for another two years but Postecoglou has confirmed there may be movement surrounding Ajeti could happen before this summer's transfer window shutting on September 1.

He has struggled with injury during pre-season and the Aussie boss is waiting to see what the future holds ahead of Sunday's Premiership opener at Parkhead against Aberdeen.

He said: “Ajeti has had a bit of a knee problem but he trained in Glasgow while we are in Poland last week. We will see what happens.

"There’s still time in this window and there will be some movement.”

In 48 matches for Celtic, the former Basel forward has netted nine times with five assists. He has 11 caps for Switzerland.

Last season brought 17 appearances and three goals for the Hoops and his last competitive appearance was in December 2021's dead rubber Europa League match versus Real Betis. Postecoglou currently has Giorgos Giakoumakis, Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda to call upon to spearhead his attack.
