Opinion: Tottenham Hotspur should move for Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer

According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Leicester City and Crystal Palace are showing interest in signing Celtic’s highly-rated defender Kristoffer Ajer.

The report claimed that Leicester scout Sean St Ledger attended the Europa League game between Celtic and Lazio at Celtic Park on Thursday evening. Palace also watched him in action recently.

Ajer is a promising young central defender who has established himself as an important player for Celtic. And that is why Spurs should join the race to sign him.

Natural leader

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers worked with Ajer when he was the manager of Celtic, and he hailed the Norway international as a “natural leader”, as quoted in The Daily Record.
