Albian Ajeti is reportedly set to finally cut ties with Celtic.

The former West Ham striker has been frozen out at Parkhead.

The 26-year-old joined the Hoops from the Hammers in the summer of 2020 under Neil Lennon. He joined for a fee believed to be worth £4.5million.

He has struggled to make an impact during his time in Glasgow, though.

He spent last season on loan at Sturm Graz in Austria where he managed four goals in 23 appearances.

Brendan Rodgers ousted the Swiss striker from his first team squad earlier this summer, with Parkhead chiefs hopeful of being able to sell him.

It was previously reported this summer that Celtic even attempted to come to a mutual agreement with Ajeti to end his contract a year early, but he was unwilling to cooperate.

Now, media outlet Gaziantep Gunes reports that Turkish side Gaziantep FK are locked in talks with Ajeti over a potential move.

Ajeti is expected to fly out to Turkey tomorrow to try and finalise a deal.

Celtic are keen to trim some of the fringe players from their squad ahead of Friday's transfer deadline.

Ismaila Soro, James McCarthy and Sead Haksabanovic are all expected to find new clubs.
