Albian Ajeti's Celtic days are numbered as the Hoops are likely to sell the frontman in the summer, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Ajeti joined the Scottish Premiership giants in a £5million deal from West Ham United in the summer of 2020, but the switch has failed to pay off.

What's the latest news involving Ajeti?

According to Football Insider, Celtic are set to tell Ajeti he is free to find a new club as he does not feature in boss Ange Postecoglou's future plans.

The report suggests the Hoops will listen to offers for the 25-year-old in the summer transfer window, although a loan move is thought to be more likely.

It comes after Ajeti had got his Celtic career off to a promising start, with club legend Scott Brown describing him as 'exceptional' merely weeks after his arrival in Glasgow.

But the goals have well and truly dried up, with the last of Ajeti's nine efforts coming in September.

The 11-cap Switzerland international has found the back of the net 66 times over the course of his senior club career but a long-term hamstring injury has resulted in him being unable to enjoy any Scottish Premiership action since November.

What has Dean Jones said about Ajeti?

Jones firmly believed the move to Celtic would pay off for Ajeti, who still has just shy of two-and-a-half years remaining on his £18,000-per-week contract.

But the transfer insider has tipped the Bhoys to sanction the Swiss striker's exit before the summer transfer window slams shut.

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: "It was a move that I thought would be quite exciting when he first went in, but it hasn't worked out for him.

"I think, with the way the Celtic forwards are performing now, it is looking likely that he will be moved on."

Why is Ajeti surplus to requirements?

Postecoglou was appointed as Celtic's manager last summer and, unfortunately for Ajeti, one of his primary focuses has been bolstering his attacking options.

Over the course of last summer and January, Postecoglou has brought in the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Liel Abada, Georgos Giakoumakis, Jota and Daizen Maeda.

They have added different attacking dimensions to Celtic's play and, between them, have found the back of the net 52 times this season.

The clinical finishing has played a key role in the Bhoys moving into pole position in the Scottish Premiership title race and emphasised Ajeti's opportunities will be limited if he stays at Parkhead.
