Kristoffer Ajer passes medical ahead of Brentford move

The defender is set to move to the Premier League for £13.5million

Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer has completed a medical ahead of his proposed move to Brentford.

The 23-year old is expected to seal a move to the Premier League newcomers for a fee in the region of £13.5million.

The Norway international has been left out of the Parkhead side's squad for their Champions League qualifier against FC Midtjylland.

Around 9,000 supporters are set to enter Celtic Park on Tuesday night for Ange Postecoglou's first game in charge.

The Australian boss has been left short at the back after the club struck a deal with Brentford to sell Ajer.

Sweden international Carl Starfelt is set to join the club - but any official announcement has been delayed.

Ajer has made 176 appearances for Celtic since joining from IK Start in 2017.
