West Ham United have reportedly made contact with Celtic about their midfielder Olivier Ntcham.

According to French newspaper L’Equipe, the Hammers are interested in signing the 22-year-old powerhouse this summer.

The report details that in the last few hours the Premier League club have contacted the Scottish giants to enquire about the central midfielder.

Ntcham has been a sensation at Celtic since arriving at Parkhead in 2017 from Manchester City and is a mainstay in Brendan Rodgers’ starting XI.

He is a combative midfielder who offers good defensive support, while he can also chip in further forward and was directly involved in 15 goals for the Bhoys last season.

Ntcham has started all three of Celtic’s Champions League qualifying matches this campaign and netted a stunning goal in the 3-1 win over Rosenborg on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, West Ham are on the charge this summer in the transfer window and Liverpool are the only Premier League team to outspend them.

New Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini does have a wealth of options in their midfield right now, but Celtic’s rising talent is being tipped for great things in the future and could end up in his plans.
