Celtic paid as much as £4.5 million in transfer fees to Manchester City in the summer transfer window in order to secure the services of Olivier Ntcham, as reported by BBC Sport.

The 21-year-old had struggled to make his mark at City, but the midfielder did well during his loan spell at Genoa in Italy.

It was the youngster’s performances for Genoa that must have convinced Celtic to splash the cash for the France Under-21 international.
