Kristoffer Ajer in new agent move as Celtic star links up with Dutch firm

Celtic star Kris Ajer has confirmed he will be represented by a new agency after breaking off ties with Tore Pedersen.

The Norwegian defender's previous representative had claimed his client would leave Celtic in the summer.

The centre-back has interest from the likes of Milan, and has today confirmed that he'll be represented by SEG.

Based in the Netherlands, the agency has a number of high-profile clients.

Lyon captain Memphis Depay is represented by SEG, as Atalanta's Marten de Roon.

The agency, which represented Manchester United star Robin van Persie during his playing career, has a number of players in Ligue 1.

These include Kasper Dolberg of Nice, Marseille's Kevin Strootman and Rennes striker Jordan Siebatcheu.

The group posted on Instagram to confirm that Ajer is now their client, with the Celtic star posting the video on his own account.

Ajer's previous agent said this week: "My contract with Kris expired this May.

"Why wasn't it renewed? Kris must answer about his choice, if he wants to.

"Did I want to renew? Yes of course. Kris is a brilliant guy, and a very good central defender.

"I have followed his career since he was 15 years old. I wish him all the best in the future."
