After nine goals for the club following his pricey and disastrous signing from West Ham in the summer of 2020, ALBIAN AJETI, Celtic’s £5 million misfit marksman, has finally left the champions.
The high-profile player, who spent the previous season on loan at Sturm Graz, has now committed permanently to Turkish club Gaziantep.
In 23 appearances, the Swiss flop only scored four goals for the Austrian squad, thus they chose against using the purchase option.
The Turkish Super Lig squad has come up with a solution with a one-year contract with the possibility of another, preventing Ajeti from spending the final 12 months of his Parkhead deal without the prospect of making a first-team appearance.
After the UK deadline passed four days ago, the country’s transfer window is still open till a week from Friday.
After being signed by Neil Lennon, the 26-year-old former international forward scored six goals in his first season with the Hoops.
Ange Postecoglou took over after the Northern Irishman left, and in his first season, the Greek-Australian Ajeti scored three goals.
He was fired after being temporarily transferred to Austria, and the depressing chapter has now been gratefully ended with a transfer to Turkey for an undisclosed price.
Ajeti’s wasteful tenure in Glasgow cost Celtic £555,555 per goal.
The Swiss striker Albian Ajeti has signed a 1+1 year contract with Our Gaziantep Football Club, according to a release from the Turkish organization.
“Ajeti signed the official contract tying him to our red-black club at the signing ceremony, which was witnessed by our vice president, Brahim Dicle. We warmly extend a warm welcome to Ajeti and wish him much success while wearing our crest.
