The popular Celtic centre-back is loving life at Parkhead.
Kristoffer Ajer clearly has no plans on leaving Celtic, if his latest comments are anything to go by.
Ajer, who turns only 21 today, has been a revelation for Celtic in 2019 so far.
It was Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic occupying the Hoops’ two central-defensive positions during the first half of the season, but the Norway international has been an ever-present figure there for Brendan Rodgers and later Neil Lennon since the turn of the year.
The youngster signed a new four-year contract at Parkhead 11 months ago [official website] and he intends on sticking around for a while.
He told The Scotsman: “I just signed a long-term deal with the club and that tells you all you need to know. I love it here at Celtic, playing for such a massive club.”
Ajer’s comments will be music to the ears of a lot of Celtic supporters.
This is a player going places and with Boyata and Benkovic both set to leave Glasgow this summer, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if the young stalwart also courted interest.
But based on these comments, he won’t be going anywhere for the moment.
