Brendan Rodgers Celtic side are set to snap up Olivier Ntcham from Manchester City.

According to a report in the Scottish Sun, Celtic are set to snap up Olivier Ntcham from Manchester City today.

Ntcham is set to sign a four-year contract at Celtic, with Brendan Rodgers seeing great potential in the midfielder.

Celtic are paying a £4.5 million fee to sign Ntcham, and that could rise in the future – with another £500,000 in add-ons included.

Ntcham could now make his Celtic debut in the Champions League, when Rodgers’ side take on Linfield in qualifying.

Ntcham has never played for City before, but he does have first-team experience.

The young French midfielder has been out on loan to Genoa over the past two seasons, where he has made 41 appearances in Serie A.

Ntcham’s arrival at Celtic will improve Rodgers’ options in midfield for the upcoming campaign.

The Bhoys dominated Scottish football last term, but Rodgers has challenged his side to assert their authority over the rest of the league again in the upcoming campaign.
