Expert shares what he’s heard about Albian Ajeti’s Celtic exit – ‘I’d be kicking and screaming’
Albian Ajeti “isn’t bothered” about leaving Celtic this summer and the club will struggle to get rid of him thanks to his wage.
That’s according to former Hoops hitman Frank McAvennie, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the out of favour striker’s future.
Ajeti, 25, only played 22 minutes of Scottish Premiership action after 21 February before the end of the 2021-22 season.
He also struggled to work his way into the side despite long-term injuries to Kyogo Furuhashi and Georgios Giakouamkis.
Ajeti has been at Celtic since August 2020 after a failed spell at West Ham though he has never been a regular starter for the Hoops.
McAvennie claims the club will struggle to get rid of him this summer as he is making no effort to leave.
“They aren’t going to get rid of Ajeti because he is earning that much,” McAvennie told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“From what I hear, he is on that much that he isn’t bothered about leaving.
“I would be kicking and screaming if I wasn’t playing. The way the boys are playing at the moment, Maeda, Kyogo, Giakoumakis, I would be asking for a move.
“I would want to play. Ajeti just seems to not be bothering. It’s one of them, someone needs to come in.”
Ajeti scored six goals in 30 total outings during the 2021-22 season.
He has made 48 total appearances for the club.
