Frequent changes in manager inevitably lead to the accumulation of players with a couple of left-overs from Neil Lennon’s time hopefully moving on long after their usefulness came to an end
Ajeti will forever be linked with Vasilis Barkas as Celtic splashed out £10m in the summer of 2020 with both players virtually worthless by the end of their first season in Scotland.
Moving to Celtic a year later it is highly unlikely that Ajeti would agree to a pay cut despite his very limited playing time at West Ham.
Ajeti made his debut in the 6-0 win over Reykjavic on August 18, came off the bench to score a late winner at Dundee United four days later but with Edouard was injured for the Champions League qualifier against Ferencvaros the Swiss internationalist remained on the bench.
Contracts are a complex business, wages per week are commonly quoted but bonuses and especially the loyalty ones underpin modern deals.
Ajeti and Soro were sent out on loans last season, tellingly there has been no interest from Strum Gram or Arouca in following up with permanent offers.
Ajeti was signed at the same stage as Barkas but made little impression last season at Sturm Graz which probably did more harm than good for the reputation of the former Basel striker.
