Celtic striker Albian Ajeti has joined Sturm Graz on loan.

The Swiss international joined for a fee of around £5million from West Ham in 2020 but failed to establish himself as a first team regular.

Ajeti scored nine goals in 47 appearances for the Hoops but hasn't played since starting a 3-2 win over Real Betis last December.

Ange Postecoglou favoured his own signings of Kyogo and Giorgos Giakoumakis who both found good goalscoring form last season.

It's understood Sturm Graz have the option to buy Ajeti for a fee in the region of £2million.

The move may free up Postecoglou to further boost his squad ahead of Thursday's transfer deadling.

Sead Hasksabanovic is the most recent addition to the Parkhead side's squad.
