Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham is reportedly keen to head back to the Premier League in the summer.

According to a report from The Sun on Sunday (31/3; page 59), Olivier Ntcham would love to return to the Premier League with a number of clubs weighing up trying to sign the midfielder from Celtic.

Ntcham has not had the best time this season. Injury has restricted the Frenchman to just 14 Scottish Premiership appearances for the Hoops, scoring three times and providing one assist.

However, the 23-year-old has previously shown his class alongside Scott Brown and he will be hoping that he can help the Bhoys secure a historic third domestic Treble in a row later this season.

But it appears that there may be a large question mark lingering over his future at Parkhead. The Sun on Sunday (31/3; page 59) reports that the former Manchester City prospect is wanted by Premier League sides, and he would love the chance to return to England.

The report adds that the interested clubs could plot a £12 million move, so perhaps he may be about to become the latest Celtic star to swap Parkhead for the Premier League.

Ntcham has been criticised by the Hoops fans at times this term, but it would be a big shame if the club were to lose him when the window opens at the end of the season.

When he is fit and on form, he is arguably the best midfielder in the division. But perhaps his recent injury record may tempt some supporters and the club hierarchy to have some serious discussions regarding what a good offer would look like in case they receive some tempting bids this summer.
