da stake casino： As reported by The Scottish Sun, Celtic have opened discussions on potentially handing a new and improved long-term contract to defender Kristoffer Ajer after an impressive season.
What’s the story?
da realbet： The Norwegian teenager’s current deal doesn’t run out until 2020, but it appears he’s set to be rewarded with improved terms after emerging as perhaps the most reliable defender at the club this season.
The Scottish Sun say discussions have been held about extending his stay beyond 2020, with talks set to continue between club chief Peter Lawwell and the player’s agent Tore Pedersen.
Is he the right man for Brendan Rodgers to build his defence around in the years to come?
How good has he been?
With mistakes littering Jozo Simunovic’s and Dedryck Boyata’s seasons, Ajer is easily the most popular central defender amongst the Celtic support right now, often looking composed beyond his years.
Watching him play, it’s easy to forget he’s still just 19 and still a novice at centre-back after starting his career as a central midfielder.
His technical ability on the ball is apparent, having the ability to step out of the defensive line with the ball at his feet, crucial in Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic system.
With strong commitment and desire, in the vein of first team leaders like Kieran Tierney, he is enjoying every minute he gets on the pitch right now.
Having just received his first international call-up, his future shines brighter with each passing month and the Hoops extending his deal would be a massive signal of intent that they’ve found a central defender worth hanging onto.
