The Swiss-born footballer, Albian Ajeti, born on 26th February 1997, is a forward, primarily acting as a striker for Basel. Standing at a height of 6 feet (1.83m), and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), he dons the number 23 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, his career began in Basel, joining the Super League in Switzerland in January 2014. Over the years, Ajeti has made significant contributions to the team. His first season in 2013-2014 saw him make three appearances, scoring one goal. By the 2018-2019 season, he had significantly improved, making 32 appearances and scoring 14 goals. As of the 2024-2025 season, he has made 17 appearances, contributing 5 goals.
In January 2016, he transferred from Basel to Augsburg in the Bundesliga, Germany, for a fee of around £700k. His stint at Augsburg, however, was short-lived as he only made one first-team appearance.
By August 2016, he was on loan to St. Gallen in the Super League in Switzerland. His season at St. Gallen in 2016-2017 was fruitful, with 29 first team appearances and ten goals. In July 2017, the loan turned into a full transfer estimated at around £850k.
By October the same year, Ajeti was back at Basel, for a fee of around £1.3m. After a couple more significant seasons at Basel, he was on the move again. This time, in August 2019, to West Ham United in the Premier League in England for around £8m, where he made nine first-team appearances.
In August 2020, Ajeti transferred to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland for around £4.5m. Here he graced the Celtic Park for two seasons, etching his name into the club's history. In his first season, 2020-2021 at Celtic, he made 20 first team appearances and scored six goals. His following season saw less playtime with only seven appearances but included two goals.
However, by August 2022, Ajeti was loaned out to Sturm Graz in the Bundesliga in Austria. Upon return, he was sold to Gaziantep in the Süper Lig in Turkey for around £500k in September 2023. After a brief interception at Gaziantep, in February 2024, Ajeti came full circle, transferring back to Basel, where he continues to play.
