Some Celtic fans have been talking about Olivier Ntcham after a post involving the Frenchman emerged on Twitter.
Hoops-related page Celtic1967.com recently posted about Ntcham. The post asked the club’s fans to suggest what Ntcham’s best position on the pitch actually is.
On seeing this, many Celtic fans began talking. Many of them had praise for Ntcham and feel that his best position is in the attacking midfield area.
Behind a front 2 but very tough with both Rogic (who on form I think is the best ) and Christie who needs to stay on his feet more but has the potential to be top drawer . I would have Nitcham ahead of Christie at the moment

Is attacking midfield Ntcham's best position?
I think so
Not for me
Infront of Brown and Calmac, behind Eddy

Unreal player, think he’s best just in front of Calmac-Broony. In the 352 I prefer him to Christie

Attacking mid, his link up play (at times) is unreal

Number 10 – ACM for the PlayStation lads

Attacking midfield

Ntcham joined Celtic from Manchester City in the summer of 2017. He also had a loan stint at Serie A side Genoa prior to his Parkhead switch (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
The current campaign has seen Ntcham make 38 appearances in all competitions so far. In the Premiership, the midfielder has played 23 games while directly contributing to six goals (via Transfermarkt).
This year, 10 of the midfielder’s 17 top-flight starts have been in the attacking-midfield position – which suggests Neil Lennon thinks along the same lines. However, Transfermarkt suggests that most of his Celtic appearances have come in a deeper midfield position. This shows that he is adept at playing in various areas of the midfield and the number 10 role might not be his best position on the pitch.
