Ex Celtic striker, Frank McAvennie, has took a furious swipe at Hoops forward, Albian Ajeti, and accused him of of not being good enough to wear the green and white hoops.
Ajeti arrived last summer in a big money £5m move from English Premier League club, West Ham, but has failed to live up to the big price tag.
Do you think Eddie Howe will become the Celtic manager?
YES
NO
Speaking to The Football Insider, McAvennie pulled no punches as he claimed Ajeti doesn’t try hard enough and was vicious as he took aim at the big Swiss striker, “I’m a striker and I look at strikers. I look at Ajeti and for me, no. He’s just not good enough.
“He’s had enough time and I’m looking at Ajeti and thinking ‘you’re on big money’. At least sprint, at least do something. He doesn’t even get involved in the build-up.
“Jonjoe Kenny is firing balls across and he must be furious because it’s terrible for him that people aren’t there for him, he’s a striker’s dream.
“He needs to go and Celtic should accept even half of what they paid for him.”
Ajeti has made 20 appearances for Celtic this season and with a return of just 6 goals, that’s just under a £1m per goal Celtic have spent on the forward.
With a massive summer rebuild on the cards at the end of the season it could be the case that Celtic make their peace with Ajeti and move him into pastures new but whether they can recoup anywhere near the £5m they paid for the striker remains to be seen.
