Manchester City midfielder Olivier Ntcham set to join Celtic after undergoing medical in Glasgow

Celtic were on the brink of securing the signature of Manchester City midfielder Olivier Ntcham on Saturday night.

The 21-year-old was understood to have undergone a medical in Glasgow while the Scottish champions completed their pre-season in Dublin.

Ntcham spent the last two seasons on loan with Genoa in Serie A where he caught the eye of Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers as a potential Celtic No 10.

Genoa had an option to buy but he is set to be confirmed a Celtic player well ahead of this week’s Champions League qualifying kick-off against Linfield.
