Club career

Born in Tirana, Çelhaka spent four seasons with local side KF Tirana before a move to Polish side Legia Warsaw in August 2021.^[3][4] Having failed to settle in his first months with the club, reportedly rejecting the club's instruction to play for the reserve team, he was given a run of games by manager Aleksandar Vuković in February and March 2022, and his form earned him plaudits from Vuković and Polish media.^[5]
