Brentford close to signing Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer

Brentford are on the cusp of signing Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer after agreeing a club-record deal for his services, The Telegraph’s John Percy reports.

The Norway international has been widely fancied to leave the Hoops in recent months, having turned down the option of signing a new contract beyond next season.

Norwich City had been in regular talks for the centre-back, but the Bees have won the race to sign him for a club-record fee of around £13.
