Report claims that Neil Lennon has now convinced 23-yr-old to sign for Celtic – originally posted on Sportslens.com West Ham striker Albian Ajeti is apparently heading to Celtic this summer.

The Hoops needed more depth up front and Ajeti could partner Edouard in the attack. He was a quality goalscorer at Basel and if he can regain that c...
