Striker Albion Ajetti leaves the English Premier League and West Ham United after just one season and joins Celtic Glasgow in Scotland. The 23-year-old Swiss International signed a four-year contract with the champions.
Two Swiss strikers moved to Scotland in a week and a half. Ten days after Cedric Itten’s transfer from St Gallen to Glasgow Rangers, Alien Ajetti completed the transfer from West Ham United to Celtic Glasgow. The first duel between two Swiss internationals at the legendary Old Firm will take place at the end of the 17/18 week. October: Celtic vs Rangers at Celtic Park.
Bye bye
«Celtic suits me perfectly. I did not have to be convinced about this transfer, “said Ajiti in an interview with the club’s own TV channel. At Celtic, he again meets his former Basel teammate Mohammed Allownsi. Norway has won the title for Southampton in 2018. Left FCB and paved the way a year ago now taking Ajit as well: English to the Scottish Premier League.
💬 💬 Celtic is a perfect fit for me, I was not sure. “

While Alionousi plays another season on loan with the Scottish champions, Celtic Ajetti certainly took over. In the media, they write on the island of a transfer fee of £ 5 million, approximately 6.5 million Swiss francs.
Hard times in london
Ajeti wants to resume her London career in Scotland. After 17 and 14 goals respectively in the last two seasons in the Super League at St. Gallen and Basel, Ajetti only played at West Ham United with a drop counter – and he did not score any more goals. Record after a disappointing year in the Premier League: 9 appearances, away from debut, 0 goals. He last played 90 minutes in the cup in January.
Everything should be better in Scotland now – not least because Ajeti does not want to miss the final of the European Championship with Swiss summer. «Trainer (Neil Lennon – Ed.) Encouraged me to come here. This was an important reason for the transfer. As a striker, you have to feel confident. “
