West Ham United striker Albian Ajeti is not in a rush to make a decision on his future, with Celtic and West Bromwich Albion interested in him, according to Sky Sports.

It has been reported that Celtic manager Neil Lennon held further talks with the striker’s representatives at the weekend.

Although the Hoops and the Hammers had previously agreed on a season-long loan deal for the striker with an option to make it permanent for £5 million next summer, the Switzerland international striker asked for more time to consider his future, with West Brom – who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship – showing interest in the 23-year-old as well.

Sky Sports have added that the West Ham striker is not in a rush to make a decision on his future and will consider all his options.

West Ham United spell

Ajeti joined West Ham from Basel in the summer of 2019 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £8 million.

According to WhoScored, the Switzerland international striker played just 132 minutes in the Premier League for the Hammers this past season.

The 23-year-old striker also played once in the FA Cup and twice in the EFL Cup for the London club this past campaign, according to WhoScored.
