Mohamed Elyounoussi makes Kris Ajer Celtic transfer prediction as winger delivers "bigger club" claim

Mohamed Elyounoussi is convinced Celtic team-mate Kris Ajer has the ability to become a Premier League star.

The winger, on loan from Southampton, has been blown away by his Norway international team-mate after working with him on a daily basis at Parkhead and believes he is ready for a "bigger club".

And £16m star Elyounoussi reckons the 21-year-old defender has the world at his feet after becoming a Celtic regular over the past two seasons.

Ajer was linked with the likes of Milan in the summer but boss Neil Lennon delivered a crystal clear message and insisted the stopper wasn't for sale.

But Elyounoussi is certain big teams south of the border will come calling for the defender.

He told TV2: “We’ll see how long we keep Kris.

"He’s been here a couple of years and done extremely well. I expect to see him in a bigger club in a bigger league.

"From what I have watched of him in the past and now on a daily basis and in combat, he is more than good enough for the Premier League .”

Ajer is a vital member of the current Hoops side and is on course to reach 100 appearances in green and white before the end of the year.
