Celtic could see one of their most important players depart at the end of the season
Vidar Riseth says it’s hard to predict where Kris Ajer will be playing his football next season.
One of Celtic’s key assets, Ajer has produced a series of impressive performances in recent weeks.
While it’s been a disappointing season on and off the pitch for the champions, who look set to lose their Premiership title in the coming weeks, Ajer remains a popular figure among supporters.
He has repeatedly been linked with a move to Milan, and in December 2020 Record Sport reported that the Norwegian could be a long-term target for the Rossoneri.
His countryman Riseth, who made 73 appearances during his time at Celtic, believes the 22-year-old will need to ensure he is at the top of his game if he is to win a move.
Speaking to the Press Association, as quoted by the Scottish Sun, he said: “It’s difficult to say where Kris will end up next year.
“Before this season he played really well and big clubs like Milan were looking at him. He was hot in the market.
“This season, though, he hasn’t done quite so well.
“It’s important to keep going well year after year if you want to reach a major club.
“If he is going to leave Celtic, of course he wants to find a new club – but maybe he’s not going to find a top, top club because you have to be doing well for Celtic if that is to happen.
“Kris is a clever boy and and he will know he cannot be thinking about other teams if he does want to leave, because that will make him play bad.
“He has to keep thinking, ‘I’m a Celtic player, I want to give everything for Celtic’ – that’s the way to make the big clubs take notice.
“First and foremost, he has to do a job for Celtic.”
