Celtic fans would have been keeping a watch on the recent developments at Tottenham Hotspur.
That’s because Spurs fired Celtic star Ange Postecoglou after winning the Europa League in Bilbao last month.
Postecoglou is welcome back at Celtic at any time of day, as the London club has named Thomas Frank as new coach.
The 51-year-old joins Tottenham from Brentford, and there is a potential he will face Celtic in the Champions League next season.
But Frank leaves a significant gap at Brentford, and may certain players follow suit during the 2025 summer transfer window?
Could Kristoffer Ajer return to Celtic once Thomas Frank leaves Brentford to join Tottenham?
Kristoffer Ajer departed Celtic in 2021 for £13.5 million to join Frank’s Brentford, who had just been promoted to the Premier League.
Stale Solbakken, Ajer’s international manager, has instructed him to leave Brentford, and the man who brought him in has now joined Spurs.
So you have to question if this boosts Ajer’s chances of moving even further and coming to Celtic this summer, especially as the club is seeking for more quality at the defence.
The Celtic Park supporters would undoubtedly welcome the 27-year-old return, especially given his previous success with the club.
Ajer’s record for Celtic under Brendan Rodgers
Celtic fans adore reunions, and there have been plenty of them recently, including Kieran Tierney’s well-received comeback.
Furthermore, Rodgers is intimately familiar with Ajer’s game, and the Norwegian star understands what the Celtic manager wants.

The other issue with Ajer is that if you sign a player of his level, he would walk right back into Celtic’s backline.
Cameron Carter-Vickers is the key man, but Auston Trusty and Liam Scales aren’t exactly securing their spots on the team.
