Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham has suggested to The Scottish Sun that he did not feel unsettled during the summer transfer window amid speculation that FC Porto wanted him.

According to The Scottish Sun, Portuguese giants Porto made a bid of £15 million for Ntcham in the summer.

Celtic reportedly turned down the offer for the 22-year-old midfielder, who joined the Hoops from Manchester City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £4.5 million.

The young French midfielder has said that he was not affected by speculation on his future in the summer.

“I just concentrate on my football,” Ntcham told The Scottish Sun. “It’s my agent’s job to deal with all the talk about transfers while I just focus on my job at Celtic. I am happy here and I feel I am getting better as a player with every game.”

Ntcham is one of the best young midfielders in the Scottish Premiership and is a key figure in the current Celtic team.

The 22-year-old midfielder has scored three goals and provided one assist in seven Scottish Premiership appearances for the Hoops so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

Celtic have rediscovered their form in the Scottish Premiership and have also progressed to the final of the Scottish League Cup this season.
