Ntcham signs Celtic contract extension

Frenchman Ntcham has made a big impact at Celtic since he moved north from Manchester City in 2017, so much so that he has earned an extension to his stay in Scotland. 

The midfielder has scored 14 goals in 68 appearances for the Scottish champions, the most notable effort being a goal in the cup final win over Motherwell at the end of last season, as Celtic won the treble for a second consecutive year. 

Ntcham also further endeared himself to the Parkhead faithful, by scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win over arch rivals Rangers in September. 

The 22 year old told Celtic's official website: "I'm delighted to extend my contract. It's good news and I hope we're going to win more trophies. It's a great side and I'm glad to be part of the project. Having a strong bond with the players is very important for the team, and for the club."

He continued: "I feel good here and I hope we're going to win more trophies, and that we can be even more successful this year than last year. I want to improve on everything, in respect of the game. scoring more goals is, of course, part of the game and is important for me as well."

Celtic sit just one point behind leaders Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premier League standings, and will aim to over take them this week, by recording maximum points away to Livingston on Sunday.
