Anyone know much about Oliver Ntcham ?
Celtic midfielder linked

Don't watch a lot of SPL as it's generally a dour spectacle but I have watched Celtic in Europe and he's more of a box to box midfielder from what I remember. He's someone who the play tends go through, who does a bit of everything, rather than being specifically focused on either attack or defence individually. In terms of his role in the team, it would be similar to what Sawyers played for us last season. He's obviously more mobile and combatative than Sawyers though and does chip in with the odd goal.

From what I recall, he was linked with some big money moves not so long ago, so it's a strange link considering we probably have no cash. But I think he's lost his way at Celtic this season, so maybe he's available on the cheap. If he's one of their top earners and rarely playing, they might just want rid.

Alternatively, I read a couple of weeks ago that Celtic were linked with Edwards and Harper, so maybe some sort of swap deal is on the cards. This could suit both parties if Ntcham has lost his way at Celtic, because I don't really see Edwards and Harper making the grade for us either. But for the occasional moment of genius from Edwards, they were only really squad players at Championship level. Could be better squad players in the SPL though.

Thanks for that ? good feedback.
