Celtic are a club who have been very open to bringing back former players lately. Jota, Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan are names that belong on that list. And they have been linked with plenty of others. Kyogo is one of them but he looks set to join Birmingham City now. On the other hand, it is unclear what the future holds for someone like Odsonne Edouard after four underwhelming seasons in the Premier League.
One player who has gotten regular playing time in the Premier League since leaving Celtic is Kris Ajer. But recently, he was advised by his national team manager to depart Brentford and join a club where he will get consistent chances as a centre-back, instead of having to fill in at right-back constantly.
Also, Thomas Frank has recently left Brentford as manager. Could that lead to Ajer having a look a look at his future with the Bees as well?
We are unsure. But one thing is clear. Celtic fans would want to see him back. In a poll we ran, over 82% wanted Ajer back at Parkhead.

Of course, making such a move happen is not going to be simple. At the end of the day, he has played regular football for Brentford, in whatever position it may be. So, one would imagine that it would take a big transfer fee to convince them to part ways with the Norwegian.
That is not all. Would Ajer be open to the idea of leaving the Premier League in order to make a return to Celtic at 27 years of age?
Yes, Tierney did that, but the connection in that case was different. He is a boyhood fan of the club. The same cannot be said about Ajer.
