# Celtic fans on Twitter sceptical about latest development on Ntcham

**As far as transfers go, it has been doom and gloom for Celtic supporters with the club yet to strengthen key areas of the squad with deadline day fast approaching.**

As well as the above, the future of Moussa Dembele has also given the Celtic faithful something to worry about with Ligue 1 outfit Lyon said to be interested in the Frenchman ([via BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45346180)).

However, there is some good news for fans of the SPL champions with manager Brendan Rodgers confirming Olivier Ntcham is in talks over a new deal.

Speaking in his most recent pre-match press conference ([via the Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3135223/celtic-olivier-ntcham-porto-brendan-rodgers-contract/)), Rodgers said: “We’re not ready to sell. When we took Olivier here, there was a plan for him and his situation has come up earlier than we’d have thought.

“He and his representatives are in discussions about a new deal so hopefully it could be finalised soon.”

£2.7m-rated ([via Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/olivier-ntcham/profil/spieler/224088)) Ntcham has quickly become a key player at Celtic Park, and the 22-year-old is of the calibre the Bhoys need if they are to progress as a club.

Have a look at what Celtic supporters are saying on Ntcham potentially signing a new contract below…
