Albian Ajeti will hope to line up for Sturm Graz against Lazio on Thursday night - but the Celtic loanee might have been turning out for the Serie A giants had things worked out differently.
The Swiss international is now trying to rebuild his reputation out on loan from Parkhead at the Austrian Bundesliga club after a disappointing couple of seasons in Glasgow, following a 2020 move from West Ham. They snapped him up after winning an 11-team race to sign the striker who netted 43 times in 96 appearances for FC Basel, with one club keen on him being Lazio.
He eventually joined the Hammers for a reported £8 million over three years ago, failing to score in 12 games. His new club face the Rome-based club in the Europa League this week and Ajeti is full of admiration for the Italian top flight, although he did turn down his upcoming opponents.
