New Celtic boss Postecoglou warns Prem transfer hopefuls Ajer, Edouard

New Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has warned wantaway pair Odsonne Edouard and Kris Ajer that any departure must be good for the club.

Edouard has been linked with West Ham and Southampton, while Ajer is wanted by Newcastle.

"Well, I haven't spoken to either of them yet so, again, I'll wait 'till I speak to both of them," the newly-appointed Celtic manager told reporters.

"They've both just sort of arrived in the country, as have I, and I'll have discussions with them and we'll make the best decisions for the football club. That's where my interest lies.

"For me, the individuals within that, I totally understand and respect their own wishes but I'll always make decisions that are in the best interest of this football club because that's my responsibility.

"That's why I've been brought in so whatever I think is going to be best for our football club, moving forward, in my area, that's the direction we will go."
