West Ham are reportedly interested in midfielder Olivier Ntcham – and some of the Celtic fans on Twitter are adamant that he is not for sell.

The Hammers have contacted the Scottish champions to enquire about the Frenchman and are interested in signing him, according to French newspaper L’Equipe.

Ntcham, 22, has become an important player under manager Brendan Rodgers and is at the heart of his side.

The central midfielder had a brilliant first campaign with the Bhoys last season, scoring nine goals and supplying six assists in return.

He has started the new season in good form too during the Champions League qualifiers and is developing into a well balanced midfielder under the tutelage of Rodgers.

Ntcham was previously on the books with Manchester City, but failed to make a single senior appearance for them and has kicked on since leaving for Celtic.

A selection of Celtic supporters are confined that the midfield powerhouse has to stay, despite Premier League outfit West Ham sniffing around.

One even went as far to suggest that it would take a sum of around £50million just to get talks underway.

Here is some of the Celtic reaction to interest in Ntcham:
