The report has suggested the 23-year-old defender will leave this summer for the Tyneside club in a deal believed to be worth in the region of £6m.

Ajer has played a big role in Celtic’s 2020/21 campaign, having racked up 31 appearances in the Scottish Premiership in which he was able to get on the scoresheet once (via Transfermarkt).

Celtic fans flocked to the tweet from NUFC 360 which relayed the claim from the Sunday Mirror to provide their thoughts on the 23-year-old’s reported future.

“Scandalous if true btw”

Amazing piece of business for Newcastle. Not sure what Celtic is thinking letting him go for 6
