# Celtic: Hoops open to offers for Albian Ajeti

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) are ‘willing to listen to offers’ for striker Albian Ajeti this summer, according to Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph.**

### **The Lowdown: Disappointing career at Celtic Park**

[Two years ago](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/profil/spieler/195906), the Switzerland international made the switch from Premier League outfit West Ham and has since struggled to live up to expectations at Celtic Park.

The forward got off to a flying start with his Hoops career, [netting in five of his first six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/leistungsdaten/spieler/195906/plus/0?saison=2020) [Scottish Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) games at the beginning of the 2020/21 season.

However, the 25-year-old then began to struggle, scoring just [once more](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/leistungsdaten/spieler/195906/plus/0?saison=2020) during that campaign. In total, having [netted just three times last season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/leistungsdaten/spieler/195906/plus/0?saison=2021), partly due to a [hamstring injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/verletzungen/spieler/195906), the former Basel man has amassed a record of [nine goals in 48 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/195906) playing in a green and white shirt.

### **The Latest: Joseph’s claim**

Joseph has shared the latest news regarding Ajeti’s future at Parkhead. Taking to an interview with [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88039141-celtic-postecoglou-now-willing-to-sell-5m-star-at-parkhead), the journalist claimed:

“I think Celtic are very much willing to listen to offers to come in for him and it might be something like a loan with an option to buy.

“It really depends on the fee because Celtic got him for £5m and they’d really be trying to make up as much of that money as possible.”

### **The Verdict: Time to move on**

When the striker first arrived in Glasgow, the [£5m fee](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12048397/albian-ajeti-celtic-sign-west-ham-forward-in-a-permanent-5m-deal) paid for the player seemed like an absolute bargain, with his clinical abilities fully on show in his first few games for the club. This led to him being dubbed a[‘natural finisher’](https://ghanasoccernet.com/jeremie-frimpong-heaps-praise-on-celtic-teammate-albian-ajeti) by by former Celtic teammate Jeremie Frimpong.

However, having played just [552 minutes](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/leistungsdaten/spieler/195906/plus/0?saison=2021) of football for the Hoops last season due to a combination of falling down the pecking order and suffering from a long-term injury, it appears Ajeti has become surplus to requirements for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Therefore, if Celtic can recuperate a sizeable amount of the £5m fee they paid for the forward in 2020, it seems a move away from Parkhead is the best option for all parties involved.
