Albian Ajeti offers Celtic transfer solution as forgotten flop's revival could quell panic buy temptation

Forgotten Celtic striker Albian Ajeti has kickstarted his career at Sturm Graz and could find himself back on the Parkhead agenda.

Ajeti made the move to Celtic Park as Neil Lennon plotted to claim a 10th consecutive Scottish Premiership title with the club planning for life without Odsonne Edouard, who would eventually make his big move to Crystal Palace. However, the Swiss international failed to play his part in the succession plan as he struggled for form following his £5million move from West Ham, as he chipped in with just six goals during a trophyless season for Celtic.

While the Hoops enjoyed an upturn in form under Ange Postecoglou, Ajeti found himself on the fringes of the squad behind Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis as he chipped in with just three goals as Celtic added the League Cup and Premiership title to the trophy cabinet. After failing to make his mark, the 25-year-old was shipped out on loan to the Austrian Bundesliga.
