Celtic defender Kris Ajer will NOT be leaving Parkhead for Zenit after the Russian giants were put off by his asking price, according to a report.
Zenit were linked with the in-form Norwegian who can play centre-half, right-back and in midfield.
Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City were also rumoured to be interested in the player.

However, according to online publication Championet, Zenit will not be pursuing their interest due to the price tag Celts have attached to their man.
Ajer has been in scintillating form so far this season, filling in wherever needed as a versatile star.
