Some Celtic fans on Twitter have offered a mixed reaction to some developing news about Olivier Ntcham.
It looks like the French midfielder might get a chance to finally leave Parkhead after angling for a move away on numerous occasions since joining in 2017 under Brendan Rodgers.
According to Sky Sports News, Newcastle United have made contact about signing the player on loan for the rest of the season.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon has only given him 590 minutes of Premiership football this season and hasn’t used him since December.
The former Manchester City youth has shown glimpses of his undeniable talent but, quite a lot of the time, he cuts the figure of a disinterested player in Glasgow.
Here’s how some Celtic fans reacted to the speculation on social media:
The Bhoys should really push for a permanent deal.
A six-month loan doesn’t really benefit Celtic – especially if there’s no obligation to sign him outright during the summer.
Then again, he isn’t contributing much to the cause at Parkhead this season and therefore perhaps offloading him in some capacity might have some benefit.
