It’s been the talk of the Celtic transfer world for the past 24 hours and in now looks like this deal will go through.

Olivier Ntcham is set to make the switch to Marseille this evening ahead of tonight’s transfer deadline.

Olivier has wanted away for some time and a return to France at this point looks on the cards. A loan deal with an obligation to buy in the summer appears to have been reached.

There has been so many reports of what the transfer fee will be in the summer, some going as high as €8m but this remort from GFFN claims it’s closer to €5m for the Frenchman.

Celtic are bringing in Jonjo Kenny on-loan in the coming hours and are still looking for a centre-back to bring in on loan for the rest of the season. There could be some late movement but right now we just don’t know.

Oli has packed his bag and should be gone by this evening.
