Legia Warsaw linked with move for Olivier Ntcham

Legia Warsaw have been linked with a move for former Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham. The Frenchman had just a year remaining on his deal but is yet to agree a deal to join a new club after Celtic decided to release him at the beginning of the month.

Now reports in Poland are linking the midfielder to Polish Champions, Legia Warsaw. Interia Sport claims that the capital club are eyeing the former Celtic man on a free transfer. Celtic recently poached Josip Juranovic from Legia in a deal worth over £2.5m but they are one of a few clubs eyeing Ntcham.

The Frenchman joined from Manchester City for £4.5m in 2017. The player blew hot and cold across a three-and-a-half-year spell before his loan move to Marseille in January. It looked as if he would make the switch permanently back to France but endured a torrid time resulting in him coming back to Glasgow. However, the player departed and Celtic signed James McCarthy. The club will rue rejecting a £12m bid from Porto in 2019 when it appeared that the player wanted to leave the club and now, unless a fee is announced, it looks as if he will go for a very small amount compared to the outlay paid to City back in the summer of 2017.
