Some Celtic fans have been talking about Olivier Ntcham following a post on Twitter discussing the midfielder’s future.
Hoops-related page Celtic1967.com recently posted about Ntcham, asking fans if the club should keep him or let the former Manchester City man go.
This left many fans talking. They gave mixed responses, with some feeling he should stay and some wanting to see the back of him.
Sell. Top player when he’s in the mood, however, when he’s not in the mood he’s worse than a man down, and too often he’s NOT in the mood.

If Ntcham had a bit of bite about him, I would say keep. In physical games he hides. So sell him.
It’s just a shame as he can play, but not in the physical games.— Garngadbhoy (@shamrockbhoy7) April 1, 2020
He’s probably been told he can go after 10IAR, same with Eddy as well unfortunately

What should Celtic do with Ntcham?
We have to keep him
Move him on
Keep, if we can, he can be special, and I think he has started to play for Lennon HH

Defo keep, think he was a bit unsettled or unsure but a think he gets it now. Gets what Celtic are all about. HH!

Keep – NL starting to get the best out of him IMO

This season, Ntcham scored Celtic’s crucial stoppage-time winner against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in the group stages of the Europa League.
Overall, he has made 38 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring eight goals and assisting four times. In the Premiership, the midfielder has contributed to six goals in 23 outings.
What do we think?
Ntcham was linked with a move to West Ham in the January transfer window, suggesting his future isn’t secure.
But he adds depth to the Celtic midfield and the Lazio goal shows that he can be a useful player on his day. Keeping that in mind, Celtic should not sell him unless perhaps a good offer comes along.
