Everton plot swoop for Celtic defender Ajer

Everton are considering a move for Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer.

The stopper has attracted interest from several big clubs, including Leicester City in the Premier League.

90Min reports that Leicester are favorites, as they are likely to be in the Champions League next season.

They also have former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers in charge. But Everton are keen as well.

Other clubs keeping tabs on the situation include Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

Ajer has been with Celtic since 2016, and he was converted from a central midfielder to a defender by Rodgers.
