Olivier Ntcham joined Celtic in the summer transfer window.
Ntcham has established himself as an important player in the Celtic team and scored against Hamilton Academical at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening.
The 21-year-old midfielder joined the Scottish Premiership club from Premier League side Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
According to BBC Sport, Celtic had to pay the Citizens a transfer fee of £4.5 million in order to secure the services of the Frenchman.
The France Under-21 international has made 20 appearances for Celtic so far this season, scoring four goals in the process.
Celtic winger Forrest is also in great form at the moment, and the 26-year-old Scotland international has outlined a reason why Ntcham is doing so well for the Glasgow giants.
“Olivier has come in the last few games and looked really good,” Forrest told The Daily Record. “He’s a good player and has chipped in with a couple of goals so that’s brilliant for everyone. Even when he came in at the start he played well from the word go.
“We have competition for places in the middle of the park and he has come in and done well. There’s no language barrier as he speaks English really well.
“He is a quiet lad but he’s good with all the boys and speaks away fine. The fact his English is so good means he has settled in.”
Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 41 points from 17 matches, five points clear of second-placed and Old Firm rivals Rangers with a game in hand.
