AEK Athens eye move for Celtic’s Olivier Ntcham

Olivier Ntcham is being pursed by Greek side AEK Athens ahead of a potential transfer in the summer. Ntcham endured a torrid spell on loan at Marseille in the latter half of the season after falling down the pecking order and now The Scottish Sun says that they are willing to pay a fee to sign Ntcham this summer.

The Frenchman joined from Manchester City for £4.5m in 2017. Ntcham flashed pieces of brilliance across a three and a half year spell before his loan move to Marseille in January. It was hoped that this would improve his game time which was limited under Neil Lennon in the first start of the season with the emergence of Ismaila Soro and David Turnbull into the Celtic midfield.

However, AEK Athens are willing to pay him £20,000-per-week according to the report and a move to Greece may appeal to the player.

The midfielder signed for Brendan Rodgers from City and has made 137 appearances, scoring 23 goals in a trophy laden period for the club. The player looks set to have played his last game for the club whether it is as a result of agreeing a break ahead of the final year or if he is sold in the summer.
