Coming about and around their Premier League rookie side, Brentford management are planning to hire 23-year old Norwegian international centre-back Kristoffer Ajer. Meant to leave Celtic Glasgow, after five seasons in, the 1998-born backliner has been long overdue for a move into English football.

Parting ways with Scottish giants on an about 5.5 million euros transfer fee, Lillestrøm SK alumni was tracked by a bunch more clubs, including AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Leicester City, Newcastle, and Norwich City, besides having even been inquired about by RB Leipzig. Playing for Norwegian senior national team almost three years and a half by now, Ajer capped 23 times for it, while his Celtic sheet adds up to 170 official caps and six goals scored therein.
