Newcastle United have signed Swiss under-21 international Albian Ajeti on trial, with a view to a permanent deal, Lee Ryder has confirmed – but who is he?
Ajeti has been deployed as a striker for the majority of his appearances this season, but he is also capable of playing out wide (right or left) and as a secondary striker – a similar role that Ayoze Perez and Siem de Jong have been deployed in by Steve McClaren.
